Does a solution to >this problem exist? I consider hardwiring IP addresses into the ROM a bad idea. You would have to compile a ROM specially for each client. The idea of using BOOTP is to give administrators flexibility. If you have tftp working, it's no big deal to get bootp/DHCP working also. =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: Ken Yap <ken@nlc.net.au> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
