Syslinux - Jun 2005 - pxelinux : filenames without prefix

Hi,

I am trying with 3.09 to use filenames without prefix in the following manner:

dhcp.conf:
    ...
    filename "/a/pxelinux.0";
    ...

default:
    ...
    kernel ::/test/vmlinuz-smp
    append initrd=::/test/initrd-smp.gz
    ...

With ethereal I see that the kernel is requested as expected. But the
initrd is requested as /a/test/initrd-smp.gz .




Btw, from the TODO file:

$Id: TODO,v 1.29 2005/01/05 09:21:07 hpa Exp $

*** To do in the short term:

- PXELINUX: Support changing the default server and boot file prefix?

- Support loading a new configuration file.


Is there any forecast when these features are available?




Thanx for 3.09 !

Best regards,
Martin Walter

Interesting.  That's a bug, and an odd one.
