Scott,
I've run into the same problem with using a boot cd with 3.4.1 - Not sure if the code
has changed since then but the only way I could get it to work was booting from cd and having
the local.cfg file on a floppy. Obviously what you would like is to be able to have a local.cfg
on the cd.

Hey All
Is there a trick to building the boot cd using the si_mkautobootcd
application?
When booting from the livecd it runs through its checks fine and locates
the DHCP server and pulls an address like its suppose to (DHCP is being
handled by my IPCOP router) but then (me looking at the logs) it appears
the LiveCD assumes the DHCP server is also the image server. In the
instructions it recommends putting your image server on the same box as
your dhcp server but it does not say its required to do so. The LiveCD
does a ping verification against the dhcp server, says congrats you have
network connectivity to the image server and tries to establish an rsync
connection and - psht, craps out (because its trying to pull an image
from the router/dhcp server and not the image server).
DHCP is on .1 and the image server is on like .225 on a /24 so nowhere
near each other.
More reading shows that this might be tackled with the addition of a
local.cfg file. But nowhere I could find where it specified where to
actually put the local.cfg file so it will be included in a cd iso.
Theres all kinds of instructions regarding doing this with a floppy -
but nothing regarding a cd that I can find.
I've also run
prepareclient --server 192.168.1.225
on my Golden Client.
Please oh please don't tell me I'm reduced to using a floppy. Most of
my machines don't even have floppys any more - and I personally can't
stand em.
Thanks all for any help you can provide.
