[K12OSN] k12osn Server with one NIC

Hello all,
I am working on a project and encountered a roadblock. In the past, I 
have pulled this off but now need some assistance.

I am attempting to build a k12osn server with only one NIC. I will be 
using a separate DHCP server. In the past, I was able to enter a line in 
the dhcpd.conf file similar to this:
tftp=/opt/ltsp/i386
(This is not exact, I am not in the office so I can't check my notes)

What I would like to do is use the rom-o-matic boot disk and place the 
tftp info in the configuration when creating the disk.

I have tried several variations and keep coming up with the error:
TFTP error 1 file not found.

The path I am using is:
/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz-2.6.9-ltsp-3
(again, this might be exactly correct, don't have my notes)

The complete statement in the rom-o-matic config is:
tftp=192.168.1.200://tftpboot/lts/vmlinux-2.6.9-ltsp-3

I even tried to enter a line in the dhcp.conf (I am using dnsmasq for 
dhcp and found an example on the web) but it gave the same error.

I ran out of time to research, and will be out of the office for several 
days. I thought I ask for help so that when I get back in the office, 
maybe someone will have responded.

So the question, what line should I place in the rom-o-matic tftp config 
to point to the correct file for remote booting?

Thanks in advance for the replies.


P.S. I am very excited, after years of pushing opensource, Linux and 
Linux terminal servers, we finally have some schools interested. Hence 
the reason for my crash course. I have been on other projects for the 
last year and my Linux research has been lacking.
