Yes! Thats absolutely correct! I've implemented a tftp client in the
bootloader that will pull the image and the file system from a tftp
server as part of the production process.

I was actually half way finished implementing it as a ioctl when i

Anyway, thanks for the help in solving my problem, everyone!
