Hi,

And next-server

I have a couple of version 6.2 pxe-clients booting of a 4.11 box without a 
problem.

A snippet of my dhcpd.conf:

        host gister {
                hardware ethernet 00:0e:0c:b4:3a:14;
                fixed-address 192.168.4.104;
                option root-path "192.168.4.105:/var/nixfs/pxe/gister";
                next-server 192.168.4.105;
                filename "pxeboot";
        }

and the kernel config:
#grep -i bootp /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GISTER
options         BOOTP
options         BOOTP_NFSROOT
options         BOOTP_NFSV3
options         BOOTP_COMPAT
options         BOOTP_WIRED_TO=fxp0

Hth.

Kind regards,
Robert
