OMG - It booted!!!!!!

I had made two changes from the last test:
- commented out tftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf
  and started /etc/init.d/in.tftpd (forgot to before)

- Rebuilt the sis900.zlilo file at ROM-O-Matic.
  I did not remember all of the options I selected the first time
  but I am sure I selected MORE this time and the file is smaller!

The only problem is that the node stopped at a 'boot:' prompt until I pressed Esc. I thought I had configured it to NOT stop. fix later.

pxelinux.0 loaded fine this time and then it copied the files and booted fine! Okay, not so fine, I have to tweak it some more but it gave me a login prompt and let me in! Woo hoo!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Now, if I boot another node will it conflict with the second?
i.e. I don't think I setup the files for multiple NFS mounting properly.

Comments and questions welcomed as I start digging deeper.  :)
