it is trying to ping tftp - but it can't resolv it, and i don't know why as
everything else can.

"can assign SERVER IP/name rebooting" - 

It then craps up and after 120 sec it resets, been doing that for a while
now.

Any way to pass that info in through grub?

Will need a list of port at some point for the firewalls.

which it is.

Test env is the ltsp and a box on a network on its own - no joy

Real env there going to be a DHCP out of our control, thats why I want to
use something like grub netboot or usb etc... 

Off to lunch.
