For future reference, there's a pretty good rundown on dnsmasq options
here: http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/dnsmasq
There are also a couple of places you can find the sample dnsmasq.conf file
so as to reverse-engineer it.
Glad all is working

Thanks very much everyone, it is finally working and it is working great!
My problem was that I had 2 -- in front of the "dhcp-boot=...." commands
of the dnsmasq section. I had been researching this for a few days now and
the the post I had copied the "dhcp-boot=...." had the command as
"--dhcp-boot=...." When I saw Mr. O'Shaughnessy reply, I figured I would
try the commands without the 2 - in front and it worked.
Thanks again!!
