Simon,

My prime objective is to flash a phone adapter. I am, first, trying to
boot a pxeclient with grub, another machine not in the drawing. Then,
hopefully, use what I'll learn on the phone adaptor.

Do you know what's the equivalent of bootp's gerneric tags in dhcpd, I
need this for grub?

For you information, my setup is like this:

-+------------------+------------------+----------------+-----
 |                  |                  |                |

 tftp               |                  |                |
 dhcp               phone adapter      monitoring       gateway
 192.168.123.107    192.168.123.100    192.168.123.102  192.168.123.254
 10.0.0.7                                               10.0.0.1

Regards,
Twanny.
