Hi,
I have been trying to tftp boot uImage.
Here is my setup:
BBB is connected via USB cable to host.
UBoot is configured for usb_ether.
Uboot receives IP from DHCP server and loads uImage.
The kernel starts.
However, the booting does not progress further as (I think) NFS is not getting loaded.

Or is this a limitation of my hardware setup - only using IPoverUSB and no real eth connecting host and BBB. Could you kindly suggest me some debugging methods to fix this issue. Thank you!
Best regards,
Vishnu
