Mh... there isn't any user-space dhcp client used, or is it? It is the dhcp "client" which is compiled into the kernel. Or is a dhcp-client used after the kernel booted? I will check that...


AFAIK one is used - see subroutines-linux and search for dhcp ...

Anyway, appending

ip=::::demohost:eth0:dhcp

makes things look much better - he grabs everything via dhcp, except the hostname. The class scripts register that hostname, although /tmp/fai/boot.log still doesn't show a HOSTNAME (something which cfengine doesn't like too much as far as I can see).

But that solution is not really useful for setting up many many hosts :-) - although I haven't found a way around it for SPARC systems ...

Michael
