The following excerpt from isc-dhcp3-3.0.b1.17's dhcpd.conf works for me: subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.193 192.168.1.208; filename "/tftpboot/ringnet.kernel.fd0"; option root-path "192.168.1.2:/usr/n/ringrowl/root"; host ringrowl { hardware ethernet 00:01:02:ab:50:67; fixed-address 192.168.1.66; } host ringcrawl { hardware ethernet 00:01:02:1c:7d:ef; fixed-address 192.168.1.67; } } This specifies the same root path for all diskless stations - the rest is left to the rc.diskless* scripts, which look for config files in /conf/their.ip.address/etc/; just place an rc.conf there with overrides over /etc/defaults/rc.conf, and.. ideally, things should work :) Hope that helps :) G'luck, Peter -- This sentence would be seven words long if it were six words shorter.
