[Dnsmasq-discuss] pxe boot problem

[stevea]

I am attempting to use dnsmasq-2.38 to support pxe (etherboot) for 
LynxOS and have run onto a problem.

The bootfile name is supplied by the server in the rfc2132 option field, 
but does not appear in the main packet body (similarly the servername 
appears only in the option field, but this doesn't matter to me).  The 
following hack solves my problem and always inserts the bootfile name in 
the packet body (and optionally in the option field).

         if (req_options && in_list(req_options, OPTION_FILENAME))
           option_put_string(mess, end, OPTION_FILENAME, boot->file, 1);
-         else
+         //sja- else
           strncpy((char *)mess->file, boot->file, sizeof(mess->file)-1);
       }


dnsmasq.conf contains:
> dhcp-boot=targe.0,lycoperdon,192.168.133.1

Is there a configuration file parameter I've missed to place the 
bootfile name in main packet body or is this controlled by the 
target/requester ?  If the latter could someone point me to the rfc that 
describes this please.

great package btw,
