Hi!

I'm working on my VLC again, but lots of things have happened since I had my
last go at it. I've installed DHCP on my network, and so far it's been
swell. Now I'm back with the VAX, and I can't seem to get my dhcpd.conf set
up the right way.. I've been RTFM, but it seems I'm missing something
important. I ran Bootp last time with the same path's and ip's, and now I'm
running out of neat ideas.
Bootserver is a Linux RH52.

VAX progress:
-------------
>> NetBSD/vax boot [990306 20:04] <<                                          
: /netbsd                                                                     
[silence]

dhcpd.conf:
-----------
option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1;
option domain-name ep;
option interface-mtu 2500;
option ip-forwarding true;
option router-discovery false;
host vaxine {
  hardware ethernet 08:00:2b:2b:4d:53;
  fixed-address vaxine;
  server-name "10.0.0.1";
  next-server 10.0.0.1;  
  option swap-server 10.0.0.1;
  option root-path "/export/vaxclient/root/";
}

/etc/messages when trying to boot:
----------------------------------
mopd[676]: 8:0:2b:2b:4d:53 Send me 08002b2b4d53
mopd[676]: 8:0:2b:2b:4d:53 Load completed
dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 08:00:2b:2b:4d:53 via eth1
dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.66 to 08:00:2b:2b:4d:53 via eth1
[silence]


Help! :-)

Kind regards,
HC
