Got it working this far at the moment. After boot net - install this
is what is happening....

Did a snoop on the server and it seems to be accepting an ARP request
from the client but doing nothing with it.

What could be causing this problem?

Its sol 10 and rarp, tftpboot, services are active. /tftpboot exists.

- is the mac contained in /etc/ethers?
- maybe you need a configured defaultrouter on installserver
- are the bootserver and server in the same subnet and has the
bootserver a working route to this subnet?

mac is in /etc/ethers
connected via crossover.
boot server is 10.1.99.10 (255.255.255.192)
client is (via ethers and hosts) 10.1.99.2

So what is the process that supplies the info to the request from the
client?

I think I've worked out that the client is sending an ARP request but,
for some reason, my server is not responding.

Like I said, entry in /etc/ethers so I dont understand it.

Mac in /etc/ethers.
No default route but connection is just a crossover cable.
