We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Unfortunately, GRUB 2 doesn't have network support yet, although there's ongoing work to implement it. If you want to help on that, please contact <grub-devel@gnu.org>.

In the meantime, this bug doesn't apply. I'm closing it.

Here's the DHCP snippet for this system:

option grub-menu code 150 = text;
host charm {
hardware ethernet aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff;
fixed-address charm.my.domain;
option host-name "charm";
option grub-menu "(nd)/boot/net/charm.menu";
option root-path "/var/lib/diskless/charm";
}

I have installed GRUB on a floppy to network boot a few machines. I built GRUB with a preset menu which configures the system via DHCP. This loads up a second configfile served by my boot server.

When I boot from the disk, things appear to go well, but I get this text:

Address: aa.bb.cc.200
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Server: aa.bb.cc.7
Gateway: aa.bb.cc.1

(these are the values obtained by DHCP)

If I press control-c, I get the menu from the boot server, and the system boots up normally.
