Re: BOOTP record too large

Ken,

Thanks for your time.  I got past my error.  I did
two things, I am not sure which one was the fix.
I first modified /usr/local/etherboot-4.6.2/src/Config.
I added -DNO_DHCP_SUPPORT to CFLAGS*.  I also changed
/usr/local/etherboot-4.6.2/mknbi-1.0/first-linux.h
MAX_PATH_LEN from a 512 to 1024.
