Hello,

I'm setting up an LTSP (v.5) server on Xubuntu 6.10. I'm trying to work around
an existing DHCP server by running on ports 1067 and 1068. I've got the
etherboot part working. The client gets an IP and downloads the kernel via
tftp successfully, but is unable to mount the root filesystem via nfs. Once
the kernel takes over it switches back to trying the default dhcp ports.

I followed the recommendations in this discussion,
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00175.html ,
however the "ipconfig -p 1068 ${DEVICE}" line in /scripts/nfs doesn't seem to
help. I verified that it is changed in the new initrd that I created in
/opt/ltsp/i386.

After the client fails to get a valid nfs mount (since it's talking to the
wrong dhcp server) it goes to a busybox prompt. I tested the ipconfig command
above at the prompt and it works so I'm not sure why it's not being succeeding
in the script.

Thanks for any suggestions.
