Hi,
I am trying to work with WTware on the Raspberry Pi 4B using network boot.
I am coming across an issue I was hoping you may be able to assist me with.
As I understand, the Raspberry Pi ignores DHCP option 067, so therefore requests files from the root directory.
As a result (if not using WTware TFTP server, but rather another TFTP server), the config.txt and cmdline.txt for the RPi is retrieved from the root directory. The config.txt and cmdline.txt files in the Terminals/{TerminalMAC}/ directory are ignored.
However, I have noticed that the custom WTware config files are able to be retrieved from the Terminals/{TerminalMAC}/ directory.
Is it possible to allow the RPi to request config.txt and cmdline.txt files from the Terminals/{TerminalMAC}/ directory first, and if nothing is returned to request from the root directory?
Another function I was hoping to ask about is the ability to check the config.txt file contents when performing a network boot. It is possible to see the compiled config and the terminal log, however, if the contents of the config.txt and cmdline.txt files where displayed somewhere (even in the Terminal log), it would be incredibly useful for debugging.
Thank you,
John
