[Etherboot-users] REQUIRE_VCI_ETHERBOOT Question

[Lonnie C. <lo...@ou...>]

Greetings All,

I am trying to figure out how to set up a floppy boot image so that I 
can boot a LTSP client but take advantage of possibly 
"*REQUIRE_VCI_ETHERBOOT*" and not loose the MAC address as well.

The problem is that we have multiple DHCP servers and need to the client 
to ignore all requests except from a specific one that is located on 
another subnet.

I have been told that there is supposed to be a way for me to add in an 
additional string of information into the floppy boot rom and also on my 
DHCP server so that when the client nic receives a response from the 
correct server then it will check for this string as well.

If this is possible, then I would like to be able to specify my own 
string and not some default one like "Etherboot" which what I have read 
seems to be in the documentation.

Can anyone please tell me more about this?

Thanks and have a good day,
