i've been using isc dhcpd for almost a year now with great results.  =
there is one pesky problem that i simply have not been able to solve.

netboot doesn't boot.  it returns "can't find server" or some such =
message to the console during boot.  this is with isc dhcpd running.  =
the only other bootp client on my net is a mac - it works fine.

my diskless client will boot just fine if i turn on bootpd.  it just =
doesn't work with isc dhcpd.  i have not tried an alternative dhcp =
server (not that desperate just yet.)  i have verified this behavior =
with dhcpd-1.0.0 and dhcpd-1.0pl2.

any suggestions?

on a slightly different topic - is anyone working on supporting 100mb =
ethernet cards in netboot?

thanks,
-scotto
