You mean if in /etc/inetd.conf tftp has a /tftpboot directory the
file needs to be in /tftpboot/tftpboot/GENERIC.PM2?

Hmm. Haven't seen that. Might explain some of the odd occurances I've
seen trying to get machines netbooted. Thanks!

If you remember which version that was could you email me. I'd like to
know so I can help other customers avoid more agrivation. THANKS!

Well, if it makes you feel any better, *I* don't know what the
differences are in the different proms. I'm not sure I could find out
without going to THE engineer.
There are very few companies that post their known problems. Even Sun,
with its Sunsolve system, doesn't post all it's know problems. I might
have to explain to Sun what a known problem is...but I don't want to go
there on that subject.
