 Boot from network
 -----------------
 static ip:
 This currently works best, because rarp does not let the called binary know the
 IP address. We need the IP address if we want to mount the root filesystem using
 remote_disk server.
    boot net:192.168.1.2,somefile,192.168.1.89
 The first IP is the server from which to download (using TFTP), the second is
 the client IP to use. Once the bootloader starts, it will detect that it is
 booted from network and look for a the remote_disk_server on the same machine.
 rarp:
-boot net:,somefile
+
 This needs a reverse ARP server (easy to setup on any Linux system). You need
 to list the MAC address of the SPARC machine in /etc/ethers on the server. The
 machine will get its IP, and will use TFTP to the server which replied, to get
 the boot file from there.
    boot net:,somefile
 (net is an alias to the network card and also sets the load address: /pci@1f,4000/network@1,1)
 dhcp:
-boot net:dhcp
+
 This needs a DHCP/BOOTP server configured to send the info about where to find
 the file to load and boot.
    boot net:dhcp
