From my 6.1.1 machine:
f880-rtp> options tftpd tftpd.enable off tftpd.logging off tftpd.rootdir /etc/tftpboot
So set the tftpd.enable options to on. Set the tftpd.rootdir option to where ever you like and turn on logging if you want to log all of the gets.
That's about it. Just be aware..at this time it only goes gets, no puts. You'll have to write data to that area via an NFS/CIFS client.

This is definitely helpful. I'm going to resolve to using this solution but I need more info on setting u p the tftp server. Also I fond a documentation on how to do it at http://cui.unige.ch/info/pc/remote-boot/howto.html . Thanks

Well, with the F230 you are almost out of luck. The F820, which can run 6.0.3 or later or 6.1.1 or later has a tftp server on it!
Enable it, point your clients to use tftp to boot from and it may just work!!!
The F230, cannot run 6.0 or higher software. So you could take one of your linux boxes, make a dir on the F230, mount it and then use said linux box as the tftp server to boot from.
Does this help?
