Re: Remote Configuration is not working

I configured pxes to load in debug mode as you instructed.  The debug screen goes by very quickly and 
I did not see any indication that the initrd tries to download the /pxes/config/<MAC>.conf file. 
The tftp log file does not show any tftp request for the config file either.  See 
my /pxelinux.cfg/default file listed below. 
 
I can manually connect to the tftp server from the telnet command prompt. 
 
Is it possible to pause the boot process at the point where the initrd attempts to tftp down the 
remote configuration file? 
 
Is there a way to specify the config directory and config file via the kernel command line? 
 
Where can I find a list of all the possible kernel command line parameters? 
 
------BEGIN --------- 
... 
label pxes 
        kernel vmlinuz.pxes 
        append initrd=pxes-0.9.squash ramdisk_size=32768 ro root=/dev/ram  PXES_DEBUG=1 
BOOT_MESSAGES=3 MICROSOFT_TFTP_WORKAROUND_ENABLED=1  REMOTE_CONFIGURATION_ENABLED=1 cns=galaxy 
 
------END--------
