Add:
next-server 192.168.1.9
to the global section of your dhcpd.conf file. This is assuming
you're using version 3.0.3 or later of the isc dhcp server. They made
some changes to the server a while back that doesn't automatically set
the tftp server to be the same as the dhcp server. Etherboot is
looking for the tftp server as well as an ip address, and in the
options it dies if it doesn't get the appropriate option.
xp works fine because it's not looking for a boot server.
