Just referencing K12LTSP because it boots macs with no changes out of the box, so any configuration options in there would be a good roadmap for you to follow in making sure your set up is correct. Just a suggestion you are free to ignore :-) > I have already set the mac to network boot and it's obvious that the > setting is good because the Mac shows the 'world' icon on screen. > > I recognize that the ppc kernel stuff that I am using is old but it > still should boot.

But you can certainly steal the xorg.conf file and reference it from lts.conf. Even though you are not using XFree86 the option in lts.conf to specify a custom file is XF86Config_File which is why I refer to XF86 stuff. > I will try to set the firmware as you suggest and see if that helps and > will also hook up the i386 system to see if tftp logs connections to > screen because I simply can't tell. > > Do I set enet:192.168.3.7 because that is my tftp/server address or > do I set enet:192.168.3.5 because that is my dhcp server address? I am fairly sure you would set this to 192.168.3.7 since that is where it needs to pull yaboot from. If your DHCP server isn't set up right this may help. > I wasn't entirely certain that my take on the wiki page for dhcpd.conf > is correct (for Mac clients) I haven't set this up manually for a long time. I helped get K12LTSP set up to boot macs out of the box so this is what I am the most familiar with. And there is a K12LTSP based off of RHEL and LTSP 4.2, so I still think looking at configs from that system would help you out a lot.
