+This is usually used to create tftp boot images.

+<vmlinux> is the ELF kernel you want to embed into the bootimage

+Tip32 is an adaption of tip22, which is the equivalent for SGI IP22 machines.
+Tip22 was written by Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org> and borrows heavily
+from arcboot written by Ralf Bächle <ralf@gnu.org> and Guido Günther.
