I've tried also specifing the IP for root-path, but as it seems, the hosts
defaults to server-name or next-server (these are the same for me), so it's=
not
neccessery to specify the IP in root-path.
Also the fileserver and the dhcp server are the same. You should have seen =
this
in the included config I gave.
Furthermore, meanwhile we've noticed that loader fails to get the pxe varia=
bles
when the onboard raid is enabled, and it notices the PXE environment when t=
he
disks are not included in any RAID setups. Quite strange.
