Daniel,
If you are using Etherboot, and if you are trying to
pass options on the kernel command line, using option-129,
then you will need option-128 to have the value that I
specified earlier.
Possibly, in your environment, you've got PCI network cards
that are being auto-detected, or you've built a custom kernel
and when you tagged it with mknbi-linux, you passed the
parameters then.
Or you've built a kernel that has the NIC driver built-in,
rather than as a dynamically loaded module.
Or, you are using a really old version of Etherboot,
like 4.6.x.
If you do have an option-129 line in your dhcp.conf file,
and you don't have an option-128, try removing that option-129,
and I'll bet your workstations still boot. ie, they aren't
getting the option-129 anyway.
