How to set up a Mac as a PXE boot server, with Debian Live
Authored by: edxley on Jul 04, '13 01:40:17PM
Yes, match the address and mask between Network Preferences and the bootpd plist file, and also the exports file if you are using NFS.  The exports file would look something like this:
/srv/debian-live -ro -network 10.1.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
Also, for Debian Live, edit the address in the nfsroot= parameter in the live.cfg file.  Change the 192.168.1.1 to the 10.1.1.x address that you are using, so the whole parameter is something like nfsroot=10.1.1.1:/srv/debian-live.  (For the alternate setup, edit the fetch= parameter in live.cfg, to something like fetch=tftp://10.1.1.1/filesystem.squashfs.)

Should be doable even with other than 192.168.x.x!
