The patches I posted some time back for the loader's netboot code eliminated its DHCP support for the simple reason that it was a grotty hack (and didn't work when I tried it). I'd be interested to know if the patched code I posted works in your environment, but the answer to your question is that the loader's current DHCP support is broken, yes. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
