Re: tftpd-hpa fails to start. [solved]
Turns out it was mostly user-error.
1) i was having issues starting tftpd-hpa through /etc/init.d
- the tftp daemon was already being run by inetd, i was unaware of
that, got it to run stand-alone since it's a one-time job anyway and
i'm goofing around.
2) dhcp3-server gave the client the ip, but it couldn't boot; i tried
dnsmasq (amazing quantity of options to configure and it even inclues
its own tftp server), but it couldn't even give an ip - again most
likely a user error.
3) i remembered i had been fiddling around with iptables (Debian's
default is allow everything) and my client booted to a nice netinst
instaler image :)
Thanks for the tips! Hope this helps the next guy.
