| The option-128 confuse the pxeboot program. If I put

Root path should have the IP address of the server such as:
option root-path "192.168.2.254:/usr/home/ambrisko/netboot";
Then in boot messages you should see:
rootfs is 192.168.2.254:/usr/home/ambrisko/netboot
swapfs is 192.168.2.254:/usr/work/netboot
