I have the same setup where my 1750 is loading an IOS from a TFTP server.
The 3550 switch port does not have portfast enabled. Sometimes the first
attempt fails to load and the second one takes. Sometime it does not fail
at all. If it does fail, the router will try again. It actually tries for
about 15 minutes until it gives up and loads the ios in flash. This sucks
if you make a mistake in addressing on the router's ethernet or don't do a
write mem before reloading. This is the command I use on the router for
this to work:
boot system tftp c1700xxxxxxxxxxxx.bin 255.255.255.255

I just ran into this problem. If the route is connected to a switch, make
sure that portfast is enabled to bypass the listening/learning phase of STP.

Subject: Boot from tftp server
Dear all,
I think I made before but now it is not working , I have flash with 8 MB
memory and I want to run IOS needs 16 MB flash , therefore I tried to boot
from a TFTP server having this new IOS . I'm using cisco2501 , I tried to
boot from tftp server by configuring it from ROMMON mode by CLI command
which is B [file name] [tftp server ip address] , am I right or it is
possible to boot from tftp server an IOS which need more flash than I have?
Please advice Thanx
