Hi. I'm trying to boot a diskless (well, floppy) machine using dhcpd's bootp
functionality.
My dhcpd.conf entry for the machine looks like this:
host wallmount {
hardware ethernet 00:80:AD:B0:9B:68;
fixed-address wallmount.capybara.org;
option root-path "192.168.1.1:/var/export/wallmount/root";
}
And dhcpd sends this:
22:04:50.860575 beorn.capybara.org.bootps > 255.255.255.255.bootpc:
xid:0x1ffffff Y:192.168.1.5 S:beorn.capybara.org vend-rfc1048
SM:255.255.255.0 DG:beorn.capybara.org NS:beorn.capybara.org
DN:"capybara.org" [tos 0x10]
Notice something missing? The rootpath? Maybe that's why the client dies
like this:
nfs_boot: getfh - no pathname
So, what am I doing wrong?
