Hello

I am trying to create a jumpstart server to install some IBM HS20
blades (usb cdrom is not supported for the installation as I know), so
I installed Solaris 10 x86 in a vmware virtual machine and I am trying
to create the jumpstart server, starting by the DHCP server ! this is
the problem !
My configuration is really simple, I followed the SUN instructions to
create the DHCP configuration...

Any help will be appreciated , thanks in advance

Here is the output of the dhcp daemon debug mode
