dhcp, dhclient, and g4u
This is not strictly a Debian question, but I'm not sure what to do and
appreciate your advice. I've been using g4u, which boots netBSD and
using a dhcp server to connect. I have a bunch of old boxes that have
been getting a new image without any problem. I have a bunch of other
computers, which are newer (HP Pavilions) with the same NIC that have
been giving me problems--but only recently. I made an image some time
ago with one of the HPs, but now I can't find any of the HPs that will
connect to the network when booted with g4u.
Q: Might there be a BIOS setting that would keep a computer from
accessing a dhcp server? I've checked this possibility and can't see
anything obvious.
Q: I can boot with a rescue CD (e.g., System Rescue) and access the
dhcp server. It must be possible to boot from a CD and then launch g4u
from a floppy. How do you mount the floppy?
