Thanks a lot to Michael!
Yes, I disabled the firewall. However, I thought the procedure is that
firstly collect mac addresses, and then enable install mode, then configure
dhcp server, and lastly setup network boot. So maybe that is the problem.
But after I imported macs from the file, and then click "enable install
mode" and then "setup network boot", the nodes also couldn't boot on.
Another question is that "Dynamic DHCP update" and "configure DHCP server",
defaultly, "Dynamic DHCP update" is checked, so should I click "configure
DHCP server"? When I clicked "configure DHCP server", it seems that dhcp
server couldn't be started.
Now, the other point is that I activated the public network, maybe OSCAR
head is not the first dhcp server the nodes recognized.
Lastly, after I failed to install it and shut down the head node, there are
some problems when I want to install OSCAR again. From the install manual, I
need to excute /opt/oscar/scripts/start_over, after doing that, I also have
troubles when do a second installation of OSCAR, for example, step 4---build
oscar client, step 5--define oscar clients. All in all, the question is that
whether I need to execute the script "start_over", if is not, whether I need
to perform step 0--5 again.
Thanks again!

Did you push the "Setup Network Boot" button on the same window before
you started collecting addresses? If this does not work, you can try
making a boot CD if your nodes have CD drives.
OSCAR's setup more or less assumes that your nodes are networked in
such a way that the first DHCP server they can see is the OSCAR head
node. If you aren't sure if this is true, try isolating the cluster
from the outside network and try network booting again.
Also double check and make sure the firewall on the head node is
turned off and that there is a working network between your nodes and
the head node. I occasionally forget to turn the switch power on, and
silly things like that myself.
If you want to post a zipped version of your oscarinstall.log file it
might be helpful.
