Re: BOOTP record too large

[Joe Griffin <joe.griffin@mscsoftware.com>]

My bootptab file contains:

blue.localdomain:\
#       :td=/tftpboot:\
        :bf=/tftpboot/vmlinuz:\
        :ip=192.168.2.26:\
        :ht=ethernet:\
        :ha=001083fc3427:\
        :sa=192.168.2.27:\
        :sm=255.255.255.0:\
        :bs=true:

king.localdomain:\
        :td=/tftpboot:\
        :bf=vmlinuz:\
        :ip=192.168.2.27:\
        :ht=ethernet:\
        :ha=001083FC3463:\
        :sa=192.168.2.27:\
        :sm=255.255.255.0:\
        :bs=true:

I tried the "bs=true" hoping to eliminate the
"record too large" error.  I get the message 
w/ and w/o the bs parameter.


bootptest shows:

[root@king /scratch]# bootptest -h king
bootptest: version 2.4.3
Sending to 192.168.2.27 (request) xid:2450 vend-rfc1395

Any help would be apreciated.

TIA,
Joe
