Problems with a boot helper

[david shetler]

See if I can explain the problem I have clearly.

Current setup:
1 Main ignite server that clients install from also have
1 boot helper to help IA based machines boot off the network

The boot helper has these modifications to inetd.conf

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd /opt/ignite /opt/ignite/boot

and

bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/bootpd bootpd -t90

I can boot off the lan just fine if I point it to one file
ie. bf=/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi or
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/esly.efi

Problem I encounter is when I boot esly.efi it goes to ELILO boot:

From there I try to boot another file inside /opt/ignite/boot but tftp cant seem to find it.

error output:

TSize.Running LoadFile()

TFTP.
ELILO boot: ux.st64
elilo.c(line 75):Kernel file not found ux.st64

However it can find that file if I give an absolute pathname to it...

Any suggestions?

Doh, /etc/passwd had a hidden character in the tftpd entry. Works now!
