I suspect the attempt to use the mfs image is your problem. All the mfs stuff in the PXE article is unnecessicary. You can directly boot a standard install disk by pointing tftp at the cdrom mount point and exporting the cdrom vis nfs. Then set filename to "boot/pxeboot" in dhcpd.conf and option root-path to "server:/cdrom_mount_point" Otherwise, the options are the same. You may need to choose nfs as your media and manually enter the server, but I'm not 100% sure that's required with the new CD boot code. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
