+<title>How do I boot &os;?</title>
+<para>
+&os; is booted over the network.  You need two things, a TFTP
+server to load the kernel image and an NFS server for the file
+systems.</para>
+<para>
+The &os; kernel has been relocated for loading at address 0x40000,
+so the Artesyn monitor has to be set up for this load address.  Use
+the monitor commands <command>nvdisplay</command> and
+<command>nvupdate</command> to configure the boot parameters, and
+<command>boottftp</command> to boot.</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3 id="pci">
+<title>Can &os; configure the PCI devices?</title>
+<para>
+&os; can configure the PCI devices if the option PCI_NETBSD_CONFIGURE
+is used.  This may not work if the firmware also configures
+the devices.  The firmware configuration can be turned off
+using <command>nvdisplay</command>.</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3 id="flash">
+<title>Can the &os; kernel be flashed?</title>
+<para>
+Yes, the same kernel that is booted over TFTP can be flashed.
+The steps are:</para>
+<itemizedlist>
+<listitem><para> Get the kernel into memory:</para>
+<screen> tftp_get kernel-name 40000</screen>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para> Write it to flash.  The size of the kernel is reported by tftp_get.
+Use it in the command to copy from RAM to flash:</para>
+<screen> flashblkwr 40000 70000000 size</screen>
+</listitem>
+<listitem><para> Use <command>nvdisplay</command> to make sure that <varname>CopyToLoadAdr</varname> is
+set, that <varname>RomBase=70000000</varname>, and that <varname>RomSize</varname> is large
+enough to copy the whole kernel.</para>
