/etc/dhcpd.conf example

This example shows save use of DHCP-server,unknown clients will be ignored, only explicitly defined hosts with known MAC-address will get an IP address and the bootfile placed in the tftpboot directory. There is no way to pass any other boot arguments through DHCP to OpenFirmware except the filename. On SUSE you can use mkzimage_cmdline tool to hardcode boot arguments in the boot kernel.

• Note: if you are using dhcp, do not set installation server address in IPL settings in SMS. Do a broadcast bootp request instead!
