Description wsk 2004-06-25 03:16:56 UTC
The Gentoo Diskless howto says the following should appear in pxelinux.cfg/default:

DEFAULT /diskless/bzImage
APPEND ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=192.168.1.1:/diskless/192.168.1.21

TFTP will not find /diskless/bzImage because /diskless is the TFTPROOT defined in /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd.  The DEFAULT line should read:
DEFAULT bzImage

Reproducible: Always

Did you actually try? Could you post some info about your config if it does break.
FYI, I use the following setup and it works fine.

clusterleader pxelinux.cfg # cat /etc/conf.d/in.tftpd 
# Config file for /etc/init.d/in.tftpd
# Remove the -l if you use [x]inetd

INTFTPD_PATH="-s /boot"
INTFTPD_OPTS="-l ${INTFTPD_PATH}"

clusterleader pxelinux.cfg # cat 0A00001E
DEFAULT /boot/2.6.5-slave
APPEND vga=0x30a ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.10:/


TFTP discards the path if the -s option was used and uses it otherwise.
