hi again=0Ayou said you use freebsd 7.0 so I told you to do these in freebs=
d ( that you install dhcp on it!!! to the end I call it pxeserver) not on y=
our Linux Server(and to the end I call your server that you want to boot fr=
om and mount its / FileServer)!!!=0Ayour dhcpd.conf is :=0A> host blade1 {=

after these you should edit inetd in your pxeserver (freebsd) =0Aand you sh=
ould make your pxeboot again if you want to use tftp that briefly explain i=
