Yep, that should also work, but maybe this data gets overwritten by
the DHCP information.

next-server in dhcpd.conf sets this variable (really, I just tries it
in my environment). But AFAIK this is also the address of the TFTP
server, from which your install clients tries to download the
pxelinux.0 file, so this is not really what you want.
I tried to set this in DHCP and it now ipconfig reports the right server.
I think I can make a workaround with this setting. Luckily our TFTP
server and
NFS server are the same. I will try monday with the real FAI setup.
Thanks for the quick response.
Mmm, this may be a bug in ipconfig. Ask the klibc-utils
maintainer or maybe the live-initramfs people if they have a
workaround or patch for this.
I will report this to klibc-utils maintainer for a real solution.
It seems a clear bug to me if ipconfig starts making up values by itself
and prevents the proper working op documented kernel commandline
variables.
