There is no need to change the code for that.  If you don't like the
settings provided by your BOOTP (or rather DHCP?) server, then just
don't use them.  Otherwise we would have to add new options for all
data fields the DHCP server could send, and this would grow into a
terrible mess.

In your case, just do the following:

	=> setenv autostart no
	=> dhcp
	=> tftp $addr $your_file_name

It is much more efficient to handle such special cases by scripting
than adding specialized code for each and every corner case.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
