5. On the installation server, configure the dhcpd.conf file and, assuming it is the
NFS server too, the /etc/exports file. The dhcpd.conf file is shown in
Figure 8-40, where we must replace XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX and the network
parameters with our MAC and IP addresses.

6. Create a file in /tftpboot named yaboot.conf-xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx (where
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx is our MAC address), as shown in Figure 8-41.
Figure 8-41 shows an example of this file that is configured to start the
installer and access the DVD ISO image using NFS.
