I¹m also confused. I recall working on TFTP boot/NFS rootfs early in the
v3.8 kernel and I had to remove both the initrd reference in bootz and
also compile the kernel without initrd support. If I didn¹t do this, the
kernel boot would hang. I have just rebuilt u-boot with your latest patch
and I used your V3.15.5-bone5 kernel together with your proposed uEnv.txt
and it works perfectly. This is very nice. Thank you for making this so
much easier. Excellent work.

One change I¹m going to make is change the uboot mount to my tftp folder
so when I update the kernel, it updates the kernel/dtbs on my tftp folder
and not on the MMC BOOT partition.

John
