I hate to disagree but my setup loads pxeboot
from /tftpboot (as per the tftp line in inetd.conf)
and my DHCP options specify the root fs as /pxeroot.
pxeboot loads /boot/loader.rc from /pxeroot. It's
confusing I know. It also appears to load /pxeboot
via tftp and /boot/loader.rc via NFS. Maybe I
just have an ill advised configuration.
This configuration developed as I figured out how
things were put together. I haven't gone back and
cleaned things up; but it needs it.
Thanks.
