[K12OSN] dhcp on port 1067 ?

[cliebow at downeast.net]

bhaskar mandas article is the Best on alternate dhcp..at the time there was
no easy way to pass dhcp options to the kernel until 2.4.21..now that is
almost trivial to do with jammcqs fix..i have seven schools running on port
1002 but 1067 is now easy to work with..
btw etherboot-5.0.11 is most stable version and doenloading and using the
source gives you great control..chuck
