[K12OSN] Clients won't boot - PXE-E53 No boot file received

[Mel Wade]

I've just redone one of my servers (K12LTSP 5EL).  I have two NIC load
balancing on bond0.  I'm only using one NIC and have changed the appropriate
files for this (see wiki).

I've setup the dhcp server and it's running and handing out IP addresses to
the non ltsp clients.  Thin clients can't boot.  Some just time out.  Some
give the error in the subject line.

Below is my dhcpd-k12ltsp.conf file content.  I'm not sure what I'm missing
but it must be relatively simple...
