Syslinux - Jun 2005 - Different tftp directories

We use pxelinux and tfp-ha for windows installation together with winpe 2005
under linux.
It works and we are happy.

But we have one problem because we want to add one more image for xp pro x64
too.
Since there is already a ntdetect.com, NTLDR and winnt.sif in the /tftpboot root
directory we can't
add the 64 bit ones.

It's no problem to use different startrom.0 files since I can specify the
kernel path.
But I don't see an option to use another tftp-path for uploading.

Is there a solution or workaround.

BTW: We are using  pxelinux 2.10 and tftp-ha 0.36

Hi Juergen,

	why not run a second tftpd on a different ip-address (could even
be on the same server) with it's own /var/lib/tftpboot directory and 
let the dhcp server decide which next-server the client that's being
installed gets? You could differentiate between 32- and 64-bit clients
based on mac-address or maybe even the client gives a string (PXEClient?)
that identifies it.

Sincerely,

Jan.
