tftp boot fails #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
1. Configure tftp server and setup tftp root correctly
2. Try to boot a mchine via pxe
3. It fails with a message stating that the boot file could not be found

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The machine should boot

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1B7

Please provide any additional information below.

I solved the problem adding the boot filename options with my value
 dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
in the file
 /etc/dnsmasq.conf
and restarting dnsmasq from the web gui.

I think that this option should be added to the tftp section, unless the tftp 
server is unusable.

Done in /etc/dnsmasq-opts, by adding

   option:bootfile-name,pxelinux.0 # tftp boot file to offer

Followed http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/478 with success, only 
replacing 'etch' with 'squeeze'
