Hi Carl,
Three things I can see here.
> filename="yaboot" ;
filename "yaboot";
> nextserver="192.168.1.36" ;
next-server 192.168.1.36;
In both cases the '=' leads to a variable assignment, rather than
setting the specific option. Notice, for example, that you don't say
fixed-address=192.168.1.3; # no no no
In next-server the '-' is significant. If you remove the '=' and
restart dhcpd I am sure you will get a syntax error for 'nextserver'.
And finally the value for next-server is an ip-address or hostname, not
a quoted string.
