this is the entry on my /etc/dhcpd.conf
# option definitions common to all supported networks...
#server
subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 10.0.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.20;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
# Indy R5000
host horus {
alway-reply-on-rfc1048 on;
hardware ethernet 08:00:69:0a:52:f3;
fixed-adress 10.0.0.3;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option host-name "horus";
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
option routers 10.0.0.1;
filename "tftpboot.img";
}
and the tftp in my inetd.conf
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/etc/in.tftpd in.tftpd /tftpboot/
