No, it isn't true.   Take a look at your TFTP server logs and see  
what files the phone is trying to download.  My guess is it is  
probably looking for gkdefault.cfg then gk<MAC>.cfg ..  The  
gkdefault.cfg file is a compiled file that tells the phone what image  
to download.  If you have a CCO login you can download a linux app  
that compiles the gkdefault.cfg file for you.  All of the 7900 series  
phones that I have boot up this way.  I don't have any 7970Gs however.
