So the PXE image is first TFTPed to the platform and then it kicks off
a new new request to the DHCP server as a Etherboot and the DHCP server
then servers up the location for the kernel. Correct?
Looks pretty slick and I will have to take a minute and upgrade my DHCP
server to 3.0. Any caveats to this? It is a 2.2.13 kernel.
Will my old dhcp.conf still work for the existing clients?
