a and b are correct.

I don't come to c) because he does not get an image for booting from the
first node

It only says "no Ipadresse" - I think he does not get an ip-adress from the
dhcp but the dhcp server is running.

Maybe someone knows a good 1 Gbit NIC with pxe for using with openmopsix.

I use the 0.7.9.2 - the newest.

Am I understanding this right boot the first node and the other ones only
with pxe or etherboot or doe I have to install something on the other nodes?

thanks for the help
