This command tells RedBoot to try and load a file, using a
network connection to some host computer via the TFTP protocol.
  * Is your computer "host_ipaddr" running a TFTP server?
  * Does it see the request coming from the target PC?
  * Is the file 'redboot.bin' present on the TFTP server?

These are the sort of "setup" considerations which you need
to take for this to function.
