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;
}
}
