[syslinux] PXELinux cannot load the config file

You were correct.  The server address was 0.0.0.0.  I added the BootSrvA option to my Solaris DHCP server and this fixed the problem.

Thank you.

Steve

Yes, it does.  Please give *all* messages printed out by PXELINUX during 
the boot... most likely it will have a server address of 0.0.0.0, but it 
could also be a PXE stack bug.  If the server address is all zero, it 
would be very helpful to have a complete capture of the DHCP packets.
