Thanks again, Russell.
I think I am probably missing some knowledge surrounding this. Is there a good
place to look to get this set up right?
Just now I was able to look at how the TFTPD configuration was set up for the
non-Dell node I'm testing with. Lets call it node002. The Dell node is node001.
I was able to copy the files for node002 to node001, and edit host name and
MAC address.

Unless I am misunderstanding the question, the IPMI interface itself
has little to do with if the node can PXE boot aside from making
remote management easier.
If, when you are booting the nodes into "runcmd=bmcsetup" it is
failing, then boot the node to shell (nodeset $node shell), login
over SSH, run bmcsetup manually and start troubleshooting the
script. I have had to add support for hardware several times in the
bmcsetup script itself so that it would "talk" to that node's BMC in
the way that the BMC expects it to.

I have some Dell T-7600 servers to be used as
stateless compute nodes. They're reasonably well equipped - 8
core, 64GB memory. How do I need to
configure the IPMI or like interface to be able to boot them
into a network-bootable image?
