No need to ditch your router. You just have to turn off dhcp on the
router and run dhcpd on your server. I think system-config-netboot
sets everything up except for the dhcpd.conf entry, which should look
something like:
host media {
hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff;
next-server 192.168.0.10;
fixed-address 192.168.0.5;
filename "linux-install/pxelinux.0";
}
This tells the client to use IP address 192.168.0.5 and to pull the
file linux-install/pxelinux.0 from the tftp directory on 192.168.0.10.
