Hi,

Section "19.7.1.6 Configuring Swap", on diskless operation, has a mistake,
that drove me almost crazy. It says there:

----------------------------------------------------------------

/etc/bootptab would use the following syntax instead:

T128="192.168.4.4:/netswapvolume/netswap":T129=64000

----------------------------------------------------------------

The T129 here is totally wrong, because this T129 is a syntax error and stops
bootpd from working properly!

The syntax for Tn tag is something like:
    n is an RFC1084 vendor field tag number [...] The generic data may be
    represented as either a stream of hexadecimal numbers or as a quoted string
    of ASCII characters.
So the second line above should be replaced by:

T128="192.168.4.4:/netswapvolume/netswap":T129=0000fa00


Can someone fix this in the handbook?

Thanks,
Rob.
