NetSUS and Multiple NetBoot Images

I am trying to host multiple NetBoot images via a NetSUS appliance. I know there is a long thread/feature request, but I also have found some info that indicates this can be accomplished now. However, I'm not sure how to proceed. The first link I found is this:

http://brandon.penglase.net/index.php?title=Getting_*nix_to_Netboot_Macs

But, I can't tell from that page what it is that I'm actually supposed to be editing. Any clarity would be greatly appreciated.

Is that link outlining the entire contents of the dhcp.conf file located in: /var/appliance/conf/

I guess that's my main question. I can modify it as needed, I'm just not clear where to start.

file is /etc/dhcpd.conf

check this link, its much the same as your link, but might help.

where there are specifics, IP address, ID, paths these all need to be changed for your environment...values need to be converted from dec to hex or ascii to hex.

note this has URLS for NFS where as NetSUS 3.x is HTTP

backup the dhcpd.conf somewhere safe..

and remember you can't use the web admin once you change this.. you can, but it will destroy your config.
