Etherboot + grub + dhcp3 for diskless



Hello,

I have this problem with booting over network:

client PC:
        NIC: OvisLink 8139ATX
                EtherBoot 5.0.4

server: 2.4.19
        tftp server: atftp
        dhcp            dhcp3
        nfs

When booting from NIC this happended:
        loaded EtherBoot 5.0.4 ...
        got IP from DHCP (192.168.0.249)
        tried to load /tftfboot/nbgrub 
        it starts to write dots and dots ...

I propably can't make grub to load menu.lst.
NOTE: /tftpboot/menu.lst            exists with rwx-r-r
           /tftpboot/nbgroub            exists too   rwx-r-r

atftp server logs:
     Jun  4 09:47:09 rih in.tftpd[9358]: connect from 192.168.0.249
     Jun  4 09:47:09 rih tftpd[9358]: Trivial FTP server started (0.7cvs)
     Jun  4 09:47:09 rih tftpd[9360]: Serving /tftpboot/nbgrub to 192.168.0.249:     2001 
     Jun  4 09:47:19 rih tftpd[9360]: timeout: retrying...
     Jun  4 09:47:29 rih tftpd[9360]: timeout: retrying... 
     Jun  4 09:47:39 rih tftpd[9360]: timeout: retrying...


Configuration of dhcp3.conf:

        ...
         option grub-config code 150 = text;
        ... 
 
         host instalace {
               hardware ethernet 00:4F:4E:04:11:20;
               fixed-address 192.168.0.249;
               option grub-config "(nd)/tftpboot/menu.lst";
               filename "/tftpboot/nbgrub";
          }
        ...


I have tried to boot Etherboot 5.0.10 from a floppy ... with the same result.
I  loaded nbgrub with tftp client after booting knoppix on the same client PC.

I tried to specify:
        option grub-config "(nd)/192.168.0.36/tftpboot/menu.lst";
     ...    no success


How to check the options dhcp server gives?



       Regards,
