Hi sahir,

To install the server from Ignite server,
u must take down the details as ip, sub netmask,gateway mach address of lan card enter this details in bootptab file of ignite server.

Details are as below
Add your client's entries to /etc/bootptab on the server. The following example is provided in /etc/bootptab :

ignite-defaults:\
ht=ethernet:\
hn:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi:\
bs=48
System-IPF:\
tc=ignite-defaults:\
ha=00d009000000:\
ip=190.40.101.22:\
sm=255.255.248.0:\
gw=190.1.48.1:\
ds=190.1.48.11
