Re: bootp could not connect to server (no source for :.)

David, Fabian,

There was something wrong with my terminal.  I've switched to another 
one and it works now.

About the bootp/network issue, I was missing the 'host' declaration in 
dhcpd.conf.  I though the IP could be simply attributed with the 
'subnet' declaration, but using fixed-address against the ethernet 
address, instead of the general 'range', helped a lot.  Maybe 
server-name="x.x.x.x"; too.  I didn't have that one, I only had 
next-server x.x.x.x.

I'm getting into sysinst, everything's fine.  But I just figured out 
there doesn't seem to be a harddrive in that O², according to what 
'hinv' says.  So I'll have to find relevant SCSI weiring and drives to 
connect to.

Thanks,
Pierre-Philipp
