Running that command returns:
npboot> eforw eth0 eth2
Forwarding... press <Enter> to stop
And then any keypress stops it, it doesn't appear to change something.
Edit: not my brightest moment, pulling the cord and booting it up again brings back cpboot...
Working through that document Marcus pointed to, configuring networking all works, after a reset it all appears to be correct, but pinging the gateway or any device returns:
upgrade 0 img.cfg
cpboot> ping 10.4.0.1
ARP broadcast 1 for 10.4.0.1
sibyte#0: tx buffer not transmitted
ARP broadcast 2 for 10.4.0.1
sibyte#0: tx error, buffer not ready
Retry count exceeded; starting again
ARP broadcast 1 for 10.4.0.1
sibyte#0: tx buffer not transmitted
Abort
(It keeps trying and returning the tx buffer error untill you abort it)
It does this with every command that requires a network connection so running tftp or upgrade from a server doesn't work.
I ran upgrade init (suggestion made in another topic here that went about the txbuffer error) and ping now works.
Okay so I ran 'upgrade 0 mcfw (mcfw is the firmware file on the server) and it downloads it says it's done and stops, the checksum signing part that the document shows does not happen and I get no prompt if I want to boot the image.
Do I need to sign the firmware or should it already be signed?

It now says the MAC is invalid, it will still ping, upgrade and do file transfers but I can't find anything on setting the mac.
