Right oh. dnsmasq is running on a linux server already. From
the manual it should provide BOOTP. It works up to this.
Booting netbsd
Trying BOOTP protocol... bootp: no reply
Trying BOOTPARAMS protocol... ip address 172.24.2.2
bootparamd: 'whoami' call failed
My /etc/dnsmasq.conf has this.
dhcp-boot=net:172.24.2.2,/export/carnot/root/netbsd
There are several other parameters which I don't really
understand. For example;
--dhcp-broadcast=<network-id>[,<network-id>]
When all the given network-ids match the set of network-ids
derived from the net, host, vendor and user classes, always use
broadcast to communicate with the host when it is unconfigured.
Most DHCP clients which need broadcast replies set a flag in
their requests so that this happens automatically, some old
BOOTP clients do not.
Is dhcp-broadcast or another parameter needed? Is the
problem elsewhere?
Incidentally, this Web mailer lacks a user inserted In-reply-to.
Thanks, ... Peter E.
