So, I'm trying to netboot my replacement TiBook. I'm following Ethan's instructions at:
http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/doc/netboot.html I've set up my /tftpboot directory, and installed dhcpd and tftpd. Here's what I get in my log files: Oct 1 23:49:52 neutral dhcpd-2.2.x: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:03:93:54:7b:46 via eth1 Oct 1 23:49:52 neutral dhcpd-2.2.x: DHCPOFFER on 192.168.5.90 to 00:03:93:54:7b:46 via eth1 Oct 1 23:49:52 neutral dhcpd-2.2.x: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.5.90 from 00:03:93:54:7b:46 via eth1 Oct 1 23:49:52 neutral dhcpd-2.2.x: DHCPACK on 192.168.5.90 to 00:03:93:54:7b:46 via eth1 Oct 1 23:49:58 neutral dhcpd-2.2.x: DHCPINFORM from 192.168.5.90 Oct 1 23:49:58 neutral bootpd[2176]: found 192.168.5.90 (space-ghost) Oct 1 23:49:58 neutral bootpd[2176]: Unknown DHCP request (8) Oct 1 23:50:06 neutral dhcpd-2.2.x: DHCPINFORM from 192.168.5.90 Oct 1 23:50:06 neutral bootpd[2176]: found 192.168.5.90 (space-ghost) Oct 1 23:50:06 neutral bootpd[2176]: Unknown DHCP request (8) Has anyone seen this before?
