The error that is at the bottom, is all I know about the error. I followed the instructions in the documentation, and I get that error when I try to boot my client nodes. For some reason the clients won't do a network boot, which is why I am booting from floppy. It looks like it is working. It appears as though files are being copied from the server to the clients, but then it fails with that error at the bottom.
