Verner,
You need to pass a parameter on the Kernel command line.
If you are using Etherboot, you do this with option-128 and option-129.
The following example should work for you:
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "NIC=8139too";
Enter those lines EXACTLY as you see there, in the dhcpd.conf file,
in the section for your specific workstation. It should look like
this when done:
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 00:E0:06:E8:00:84;
fixed-address 192.168.0.1;
filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.26-ltsp-2";
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "NIC=8139too";
}
Of course, change your mac address and IP address to suit your needs.
