Newbie question




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). Don't change this unless
# -- you understand Netbios very well
#	option netbios-node-type 2;

	range dynamic-bootp 192.168.155.33 192.168.155.38;
	default-lease-time 21600;
	max-lease-time 43200;

	# we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address
#	host ns {
#		next-server marvin.redhat.com;
#		hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;
#		fixed-address 207.175.42.254;
#	}

        host dwarf {
             server-name "lynn";
             next-server lynn;
             filename "bzImage.nbi;
             hardware ethernet 00:50:DA:18:29:A1;

        }
}
