But then I get in /var/log/messages this line:

Feb  6 20:06:45 cisr bootpd[842]: in entry named ".default", symbol "T128": bad syntax
Feb  6 20:06:45 cisr bootpd[842]: can't find tc=".default"


Rob, are you sure that the error was on the T128 line? The above
bootptab appears to have just one syntax error, but it is on the
T129 line. From bootptab(5):

The error is that `64000' is neither a quoted string nor a stream of
hexadecimal bytes. Try this instead:

T129=0000fa00:\

Wonderful, thanks! I now use:


#-----------/etc/bootptab-----------

        hn:ht=1:vm=rfc1048:\
        sm=255.255.255.0:\

        T128="147.46.44.181:/home":\
        T129=0000fa00:\
        rp="147.46.44.181:/tftpboot":

diskless:\
        ha=0050fce9306f:\
        tc=.default:
#------------------------------------

When I then test the server from the diskless PC:

        [diskless]$ bootptest cisr.snu.ac.kr
        bootptest: version 2.4.3
        Sending to 147.46.44.181 (request) htype:0 hlen:0 xid:823 C:147.46.44.183

        Recvd from 147.46.44.181 (reply) htype:0 hlen:0 xid:823 C:147.46.44.183

                ROOT:"147.46.44.181:/tftpboot" HN:"lahaye" T129:00.00.FA.00

On the server in /var/log/messages I get:
        bootpd[95255]: diskless: No room for "(generic)" option


So I bet there's still something fishy here, isn't it?
