Sevan,

I have changed the tftp server to a FreeBSD machine and it's still 
coming up with the same error.

Basically the tftp server's log file is stating "no route to host".

What should the exact layout of the tftpboot dir look like?

As shown I have ofwboot.net linked to the HEX of the IP address, with 
other files residing in the directory.

This is fine but it seems that it isn't enough that I either need to 
link the bsd.mp file or do something else that I'm not aware of like 
configuring bootp for dhcp or so?


Regards,

Kaya
