Instructions:	Specify COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or COM5 to configure Netboot over a
	synchronous interface.
	Specify XCVR1 or XCVR2 to configure Netboot over an Ethernet interface.
	Specify TOKEN1 or TOKEN2 to configure Netboot over a token ring interface
	(ARN only).
	Note that the interfaces that are available depend on the interface options you
	purchased with your router.
