I'm trying the Etch netboot installation, but the client can't seem
to find the configuration file. I untarred netboot.tar.gz into
/var/lib/tftpboot. I tried copying (and and also moving)
pxelinux.cfg/default to pxelinux.cgf/01-<my client's MAC>,
but that didn't change anything.

I'll now list the PXE messages given on screen by the client. This is
copied by hand, so hopefully I transcribed this right:

I figured out that I needed to add a "next-server" directive to
my dhcp config:

next-server 192.168.1.215
