To Set Up and Run LAN Boot
To set up LAN boot on a LAN, the HP system that is to provide the install kernel is set up as a "bootp
server." The system that is to receive the install kernel over the add-in LAN card is the client. For
instructions on setting up an HP system as the "bootp server" to provide the install kernel, please see the
instructions located in the bootp server README at:
