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 09:47:29 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,
