Bootstrapping Set up a DHCP server. I used udhcpd, but it does not matter. Besides giving out an IP address, you need to specify the bootfile and the rootpath options, and the server IP address. I use this config file: start 10.0.0.100 end 10.0.0.200 interface eth0 siaddr 10.0.0.5 boot_file /pxelinux.bin option bootfile /pxelinux.bin option rootpath /nfsroot You need to set up a TFTP server next.
