how to boot a diskless computer

http://www.kegel.com/linux/pxe.html

the pex contacts via dhcp:

/linux/3/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

new lancard: add the eth address

and asks for kernel via tftp -> xinetd

make sure: dhpc is started (on l3) and xinetd is configured ... for tftp

/linux/3/tftpboot/bpbatch/bpbatch.bpb

addd the proper kernel

the kernel must support root-on-NFS

bpbatch didn't work for memtest, so i installed (from portage) : syslinux (and therefore tftp-hpa )

But tftp couldn't config w/ user ftp: group ftp couldn't be found?
