Robin, Is there any chance that this computer has another NIC built in ?
Etherboot is searching for a specific nic, because the floppy has a certain driver on it. But, once the kernel starts running, it just looks for any nic it can find, and perhaps it's finding the onboard nic before your add-on nic. if that's the case, then you'll need to tell the kernel explicitly what to look for. You can do that with an option-128 and option-129 in the dhcpd.conf file. There's some information on that in an old LTSP-3 quick install guide. http://www.ltsp.org/instructions-3.0.html Way down at the bottom. This is the same thing we need to do when ISA nics are used. If you are still having problems, give us a bit more info, like what kind of NIC you have, and also you should be watching the /var/log/messages file, to see if the server is getting the 2nd DHCP request.
