I have installed isc-dhcp3-3.0.1.r11_1 (from ports) the default tftp server in inetd.conf pxe-1.3 (from ports) im pxe client is an ibm t30 laptop and when I tell it to boot pxe, it gets a dhcp address.. It appears to tftp download the pxeboot file (which is a big ole linux initrd created with http://pxes.sourceforge.net) then after a short while it bombs with tftp: too many packages exiting intel boot agent I searched and it seems that there is a 512K limitation for booting images? The only option that Ive found is using http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php does this sound about right? regards, Jason
