Can't you use tftpboot instead of bootp? Then you have the possibility
to specifiy the load address and the file name.

But this requires to set up the environment variables serverip and ipaddr.

An alternative is to use "cp" to copy the binary image from 0x100000 to
0x1000000 after loading it.


BTW, did you ever try to run altboot directly after using PPCBoot's SK98
driver? When it works this would mean we just forgot to initialize some
register.
