I understand the above line as follows:dhcphostname=myhost: Sets the hostname that the DHCP client will send to the DHCP server. This may be required if the default hostname cannot be used with your DHCP configuration. This option has been introduced in SystemRescueCd-1.3.5.
- I add this parameter to my pxelinux.cfg/default file
- The client will boot and set the $HOST variable to whatever the dhcp-server
tells the client, e.g.
Code: Select all
# From the dhcpd.conf file:
host laptop9 {
hardware ethernet 00:90:f5:9b:0b:50;
option host-name = "laptop9";
fixed-address 192.168.220.19;
filename = "pxelinux.0";
}
But instead the hostname is: sysresccd.
What to do here?
Using Version 1.6.0, booting via pxe, tftp (kernel+initrd), tftp ( / )
Kind regards
Thomas
