It the last suggestion does not work, then I would take the two lsdef's
and remove any attribute  in the bad node that is not in the good node.
until you have the exact same attributes defined in the bad node as in the
good node.

Didn't work. I recreated dhcp with those commands. I had run makedhcp
before, but probably not with -n. The nodes are and were showing up in
the leases file so that didn't appear to be the problem. I also made
some changes to the nodehm table so that the serial attributes are
showing up on the new nodes. Still nodeset runs without error, but
doesn't change the tftp config file for the node.
I'm just not sure how to debug this. It is just failing silently.

Thanks for any tips,
Mike
