If I get this correctly, the netboot command sends a few raw mac frames 
to the camera to activate the process.
I unplugged the camera 3-4 times, having it plugged in for about 3 
seconds between retries.
Between the camera and the PC was just a simple network switch.
I then observed the output of the serial console. If you get to netboot 
mode it will stop with a special character, stall a second
and then move on to programming the camera. Try to get serial outut, it 
helps a lot to determine success.
