[K12OSN] Doing the Pivot Root - befuddling

Fixed it!   Les is correct, lines 5 & 6 need to be in the main part of 
the config file--which they already were.  With those removed from the 
scope, and with a space (not a comma) between the 'NIC=3c509' 
specification and the part the wiki told me to add, it now works.  In 
other words, this is my dhcpd.conf:

 host wendolene {
        hardware ethernet     00:20:AF:14:DB:0B;
        fixed-address         172.26.18.5;
        filename              "/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp";
        option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
        option option-129 "NIC=3c509 MOPTS=nolock,ro,wsize=2048,rsize=2048";
    }

Thanks to all for the help.
