PS: DO NOT put swap on the network filesystem, the Kindle kernels are not configured to support such use (we have threads on that subject here).
I have the U-Boot commands for netboot on file, but how are you supposed to connect to the Kindle when it's still in U-Boot? We don't have an Ethernet port. Is it some sort of fancy USB Networking mode in U-Boot?
