Except if you are using DHCP enable a netboot of a SPARC you will need to tell
the client where to find its kernel image:


      host clientname {
        filename "/tftpboot/tftpboot.img";
        server-name "servername";
        next-server servername;
        hardware ethernet 01:23:45:67:89:AB;
        fixed-address 192.168.1.90;
      }


Not something linksys is likely to help with.

I wouldn't worry about the config though ... the link I posted pretty much gives
you the dhcpd config for you.
