I don't know how but that was just a typo from my copy/paste of the values. It is set correctly in dhcpd.conf, when I change it to the wrong mac address this is the output I get on the Qube:

When I change it back it goes back to correctly picking up the 192.168.1.78 address.

I don't know. It's one of the things that is bugging me, I thought the CoLo was loaded off the NFS share but it looks like it's using a copy on the local disk. I think this is deffinately the case as if I pull the disk out and put a 40gb blank ide drive in there I get CoLo related errors.

I have been using the LCD menu to net boot. When I power the Qube on after a second or so it goes to a menu with the following options (I have been using the Network (NFS) option):
BOOT SELECTION
Disk (hda)
Network (NFS)
Network (TFTP)
Boot shell
Network shell
When I press and hold the < > buttons next to the panel on power on, the panel changes to say Net booting but this is the output I get:

it never seems to get any further. This happens on both the Qube's.
