AW: FAI and Windows DHCP-Server

[Thomas Wuppermann]

We've got it thanks to juraj!

I was confused because of the errors the client showed me trying to get dhcp-infos. It was just the bootfile which I needed to add in DHCP.

The options which must be set for FAI (in addition to teh common network-Konfiguration-options) in a w2k or w2k3 DHCP-Server are the following:

- 017 Stammverzeichnis			(or Root Path)			<your path to nfsroot>
- 066 Hostname des Startservers 	(or Boot Server Host Name)	<IP of your Boot Server>
- 067 Name der Startdatei		(or Bootfile Name)		<Name of your bootfile, eg. pxelinux.0)


cheers

Thomas
