Package: di-netboot-assistant
Version: 0.36
Severity: normal

I installed di-netboot-assistant on a Hardy box that was already doing
netbooting, with the following dnsmasq.conf:

    bogus-priv
    dhcp-authoritative
    dhcp-boot=net:PXE,debian-installer/pxelinux.0
    dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
    dhcp-range=192.168.67.151,192.168.67.254,12h
    dhcp-range=192.168.68.151,192.168.68.254,12h
    dhcp-vendorclass=PXE,PXEClient
    domain-needed
    enable-tftp
    expand-hosts
    interface=eth1.2
    interface=eth1.3
    local=/lan/
    localise-queries
    no-negcache
    read-ethers
    tftp-root=/var/lib/tftpboot

I then ran

     di-netboot-assistant install hardy --arch=i386,amd64

PXE loads pxelinux.0 correctly, which prints something I haven't seen
before:

    TFTP prefix: debian-installer/

This is because pxelinux.0 isn't in the root directory
(i.e. /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.0).  This then causes problems when I
press Enter (or run menu), namely it tries to access
debian-installer/debian-installer/pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32.  If I
manually type "pxelinux.cfg/menu.c32" at the boot: prompt, I can get
the menu to come up, but none of the choices work (because they're
doing debian-installer/debian-installer/... too).

This is probably a change in syslinux or Ubuntu's d-i rather than
di-netboot-assistant's fault, but it'd be really awesome if
di-netboot-assistant could magically detect this difference and work
around it.
