Temporarily change your configuration register to 0x2101 to allow the flash
to be writeable. Reboot into ROMMON and go whatever interface is on the
TFTP servers network. Add an IP address to your interface then do your TFTP
download. Don't forget to place your config-reg back to 0x2102 once you are
done.
