No kidding! Wow, I had no idea a feature like that
existed in the
kernel. I will definitely give that a shot. Are
there any particular
kernel modules needed for that?
Thanks, Jim.

Nope, Dan, you can use the my netboot hint to see
all the options
required http://documents.jg555.com/netboot

This is the type of little gem of information that
really makes the reading of the list messages
worthwhile. I didn't know that this kernel feature
existed either. :)
Thanks for the tip.

According to
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0203.1/1087.html, the
kernel-level DHCP features are meant more for things like netboot
mounting the root filesystem using NFS and not general usage, as a
userland DHCP client is going to be more robust and generally more
useful than the kernel one.
