I cannot create a record that points to a boot server. Effectively, the only thing that the DHCP server does is hand out IPs. It seems that using gPXE here to fetch an image from the tftp server makes the most sense, because it seems that I can more easily point it directly to the tftp server. Also, the image that is fetched from the server is going to be a menu-driven bootloader through which the user can select the desired kernel, boot options, etc. So the final goal is to have a disc from which the user can boot and then see a menu of options which allow the user to boot using images from the remote server. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
