SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/tip22 <vmlinux> <initrd> <outfile>

DESCRIPTION

tip22 is used on SGI/MIPS IP22 machines to embed kernel and initial ramdisk into one ECOFF image which can then be booted by the ARCS PROM. This is usually used to create tftp boot images.

USAGE

<vmlinux> is the ELF kernel you want to embed into the bootimage

<initrd> is the (optionally gzip compressed) initial ramdisk

<outfile> is the resulting tftpboot image
