VLAN tagged frames.
+The following image location variables contain the location of images
+used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
+not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
+variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
+server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
+loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
+flash or offset in NAND flash.
+
+*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
+boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
+boards use these variables for other purposes.
