I am trying to test
http://rom-o-matic.net/5.4.2pre2
which allows me to set
DEFAULT_BOOTFILE: Define a default bootfile for the case where your DHCP server
does not provide the information. Example: tftp:///tftpboot/kernel
If you do not specify this option, then DHCP offers that do not specify
bootfiles will be ignored.
tftp://1.2.3.4/pxelinux.0 is about what I will be using. (just to make the
syntax clear, because I missed the point of /// the first time, and DNS suport
is still experimental.)
I only want "DHCP server does not provide" for the box I am testing on, not the
whole lan.
This didn't seem to work:
# /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf (stripped out everything but filename related lines)
filename="pxelinux.0" ;
host v400 {
hardware ethernet 00:90:27:A5:B6:16 ;
nextserver="" ;
filename="" ;
option host-name "v400" ; }
I am guessing "" causes it to use the upper value. It is possible that it did
do what I need, but other parts of my tests are failing. I am also trying some
things with Virtual PC and Ethereal which isn't going well either.
