Hi,

I am trying to setup diskless clients. The Handbook describes how to 
define special dhcp-options for swap and other variables, however these 
are not available, unless I use dhclient (compiling the kernel with 
option BOOTP only makes the hostname available).

If I try to start dhclient, I loose connection to the nfs server and 
hence my / (nfs mounted read-only) because dhclient resets the interface 
before getting a new lease, system hangs and I can only reboot. Is there 
a magic option to solve this?

Thanks, Erik
