Hmm, it definatly worked for me with 5.0-RC1 and 4.7. I believe what I ran tftpd with the options "-s /cdrom" and exported /cdrom with "-ro -alldirs". In the dhcp configuration, filename was "boot/pxeboot" and root-path was "/cdrom". next-server and server-identifier both pointed to the DHCP/tftp/NFS server. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
