[Dnsmasq-discuss] increasing boot timeout

[Mahmood Naderan]

Sorry didn't got that!
Clients read /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. Am I right? Currently I have wrote:

DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
KERNEL vmlinuz-3.2.0-25-generic
APPEND root=/dev/nfs initrd=initrd.img-3.2.0-25-generic nfsroot=192.168.1.100:/nfsroot ip=dhcp rw


Also dnsmasq.conf contains:

 interface=eth2
domain=hpclab
expand-hosts
dhcp-range=192.168.1.1,192.168.1.5,static
dhcp-option=42,0.0.0.0
dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot
dhcp-host=00:e0:81:g5:39:64,ws01,192.168.1.1
dhcp-host=00:e0:81:g6:42:49,ws02,192.168.1.2
dhcp-host=00:e0:81:g6:41:34,ws03,192.168.1.3
dhcp-host=00:e0:81:g6:42:4c,ws04,192.168.1.4
dhcp-host=00:e0:81:g6:24:77,ws05,192.168.1.5


So what is next?

Both (1) and (2) are client configuration... if the client had gotten
any configuration options from dnsmasq at that point, there'd be no
need to retry.
