[syslinux] without MAC addr in dhcpd.conf will not get IP addr

[myothello myothello]

Sorry that I am very new to Linux.  OK.  I have tried
the dhcpd.conf as followed and it gives me lots of
error when I restart the dhcpd service.

My previous /etc/dhcpd.conf - when I commented out the
host client1 and client2, the client will not get the
dynamic ip address from server.
