I have blown many hours on this. You should try to disable one of your NICs
in the bios . I was not able to do this.
I ended up making a fai config for
machine-nic1
and machine-nic2
the machine would intiially netboot off of machine-nic1, then further in the
fai process it would dhcp off of machine-nic2
after everything was done installing, I would delete all tftpd pxelinux
files except for "default"
