The MIPS box (Atlas running YAMON) has a fixed IP address assigned by me. TFTP boot works fine. But this IP is held within the boot monitor program (YAMON).
YAMON> set
baseboardserial (RO) 0000000197 bootfile (R/W) vmlinux.rec bootprot (R/W) tftp bootserport (R/W) tty0 bootserver (R/W) 4.42.102.7 cpuconfig (R/W) ethaddr (RO) 00.d0.a0.00.00.ed fpu (R/W) gateway (R/W) 12.235.80.1 ipaddr (R/W) 4.42.102.6 memsize (RO) 0x04000000 modetty0 (R/W) 115200,n,8,1,hw modetty1 (R/W) 115200,n,8,1,hw prompt (R/W) YAMON start (R/W) startdelay (R/W) subnetmask (R/W) 255.255.252.0 yamonrev (RO) 02.04
Apart from the dynamic IP address assignment methods....
Suggest me a method to communicate this value to the RAM resident Linux kernel. Or can I assign a fixed IP addredd by passing it as a parameter when the linux kernel boots up? If so what is the syntax & please point me to the document that has this info. about passed parameter when booting the kernel.
Thanks, -Mike.

^^^^^^^
I think the box doesn't have an IP address, nor has it been told to pick one. You should add 'ip=bootp' or 'ip=dhcp' to your command line.

Protecting a PeeCee is more an act of not shooting one's own feet by running known-bad software...
