Question/problem with tftp & configfile command... |

I was attempting to control the local boot of a machine using a tftp server.
As
boot-time and network bandwidth are considerations, I've preloaded various
images to a machine, and attempted to use the, "configfile" command retrieve a
configuration file form a tftp server.
Problem:
1) the "configfile" command does not work in batch mode.
2) When I changed the code to allow configfile to work in batch mode (set both
COMMAND and MENU flags), grub loops re-reading the local configfile (see below).
Note: I'm using grub 0.91.
Details:
When I type the commands by hand, everything works correctly.
Initial config file (menu.lst) (ip's removed).
ifconfig --address=<addr> --mask=<mask> --gateway=<gateway> --server=<server>.
configfile (nd)/var/boot/test_boot
</var/boot/test_boot> contains a normal menu.lst file referencing local kernels
& root file systems.
When started, grub seems to set the IP address, contact the tftp server,
retrieve the test_boot file, and then re-runs the initial config file (menu.lst)
until power-off.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael Breuer
