Chapter 2: Micro-CS Installation
The only boot information that RARP provides is the Micro-CS's Internet

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
The Micro-CS's operational image can be installed from a UNIX host on
a network. To do this, the operational code must first be loaded on the
UNIX host. The Micro-CS may also be booted from software loaded on a
another Micro-CS or from Flash memory (see Chapter 3). When loading
the Micro-CS software for the first time, use the ROM Monitor
commands. At the monitor prompt:
1.
Execute the erase command to clear the EEPROM. (See the erase
command in Chapter 3.)
2.
Execute the addr command to:
Enter the Micro-CS's Internet address.
Modify any other parameters that the Micro-CS may require for the
initial boot, i.e., the preferred load host's Internet address and the
subnet mask. (See the addr command in Chapter 3.)

If you are booting the Micro-CS using a Serial Line Internet Protocol
(SLIP) network interface, you must:
