But a DHCP server on some machine tends to be required for PXE booting.
Any other DHCP server that the client can get an address from should be able to be configured to also supply the 'next server' and 'boot file' options to the client. the 'next server' should be the IP of the JumpStart server providing the TFTPBOOT services, and the 'boot file' will be the name of the ile to boot (usually pxegrub in Solaris's case.) Unfortunately each DHCP server is configured differently, so I can't even begin to help there, and what little the Solaris jumpstart scripts might do for you won't be much help any longer since they are written expecting the Solars DHCP server. -Kyle > Thanks, >
