.I [-o output]
.I <elf kernel images>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.BI tilo
is a tool for building a simple TFTP boot loader
which embodies several kernel images for different Sun
architectures and a ramdisk root image. To minimize
memory usage, the images are gzipped. After starting
the boot loader, the architecture is detected, 
the appropriate kernel is unpacked and then the
booting procedure is launched.
