I have checked this issue, but I am coming to a different conclusion. I
have sniffed the network between the DHCP server and the target, and the
target is able to recognize the option 6 (DNS - name server) of the DHCP
OFFER.
However, the code setting the variable using by the DNS command
("dnsip") is not set if a file is not loaded by the TFTP server.
In cmd_net.c, you see:
if ((size = NetLoop(proto)) < 0) {
show_boot_progress (-81);
return 1;
}
After that, netboot_update_env is called setting correctly the
variables. So if the transfer stops or is not successful, the dnsip
variable is not updated.
Can you check (it is not the right fix !) if commenting the above return
statement fixes the issue you report ?

I do not think this is correct.
