(this really belongs on the ppcboot list...) You can do arbitrarily complicated things in the ppcboot 'bootcmd' argument. In your case:
setenv bootcmd tftp 100000 pImage\; tftp 300000 initrd\; bootm 100000 300000 If your bootcmd variable gets too long, ppcboot will complain - then you just have to do something like: setenv bootcmd run first_half\; run second_half setenv first_half command\; command\; ... setenv second_half ...
