It depends on your actual setup for tftp, if the dhcp specifies the filename, a simple bootp(): is enough. Otherwise you have to specify the filename relative to the tftpd working directory, which results probably in something like bootp(): tftpboot.img [snip] > In time of boot or bootp I cloud see with tcpdump on server 4 broadcasts > (maybe to get tftpboot.img) from indigo to server. It usually is: -> ARP request <- ARP reply -> bootp request <- bootp reply -> 1. tftp request <- 1. tftp reply ... I guess it fail for you with a "tftp file not found" error. > I could see MAC > address of indigo, but I could not ping on indigos IP from server.
