Hi all - I'm attempting to set up a diskless LINUX box. I've follwed the Diskless-HOWTO, built a boot floppy, installed and configured DHCPD, and built a root tree under /tftpboot. The floppy boots Etherboot, searches for a DHCP server, finds on, gets its address, and attempts to load whatever I have specified. It then times out and sleeps. My guess is that it is looking someplace other than where I expect. Any and all suggestions would be welcome. etc/dhcpd.conf: subnet 192.168.155.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { # --- default gateway option routers 192.168.155.46; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; # option nis-domain "domain.org"; option domain-name "monrou.com"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.155.43; option time-offset -6; # Central Standard Time option ntp-servers 192.168.155.43; # option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1; # --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid).
