25 Add support for RTEMS (this time for real).
26
27* Add support for "bmp info" and "bmp display" commands to load
28 bitmap images; this can be used (for example in a "preboot"
29 command) to display a splash screen very quickly after poweron.

35
36* Add new meaning to "autostart" environment variable:
37 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
38 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
39 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
40 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
41 data.

stroese69f8f8272003-04-10 13:30:28 +000043* Patch by Stefan Roese, 10 Apr 2003:

47 where the DHCP-server is not the TFTP-server.
48
