[nsp] tftp boot system inmage

Hello,

On startup for a 4700, I am trying to boot a system image from a tftp
server. Basically, the flash is too small so I can't store the image
in flash.

The tftp times out at boot time, although tftp works fine when the
router is up and running. The tftp server is "directly connected"
via an ethernet port.

So, what am I missing? Is the boot image deficient or do I need
some other command other than the obvious:

boot system fooImage fooServer

?

Thanks,
-mark
