No doubt, you are right. But I will say it once more. In GRUB the
bootp_func() AND the dhcp_func() (the functions called by the
command 'bootp' and 'dhcp') call the function bootp(). This part
is NOT written by me !!

The only problem I 'created' with my implementation is the use
of the tag 'T99' in the bootptab, which is perhaps not useable
in connection with DHCP, BUT I dont know !

But I am interested in good ideas.

I say it again. I only want help to make progress in runnung GRUB
diskless, as I need it at home and in some weeks in the company,
and so I was interested in implementing 'one' solution. So I hope
I could help !

With friendly regards
