Unfortunately netflash does not give you any error messages.
Most problems occur, when it can not download the file.
This can be due to several errors. Missing network
connection, a typo, a missing file on the server or by
giving the wrong options.

In your case it seems, that the latter is the case.
I assume you try to download the file via http and 
192.168.100.12 runs a webserver in whose root directory
the file image.bin resides. In that case to proper call
of netflash will be:

  netflash http://192.168.100.12/image.bin

Of course there are several option to netflash.
Which can be viewed by calling netflash -h

On my system (a Suzaku Board) it does look like this:

<snip>
# netflash http://192.168.100.12/image.bin
netflash: killing tasks...
...........................................................................................................................................................
netflash: got "http://192.168.100.12/image.bin";, length=3104798
netflash: programming FLASH device /dev/flash/image
.............................................................................................................
Restarting system.

Cheers,
