[rescue] bootp and dhcp - conflict?

[Dan Moisa]

That's right, compiling a new kernel was surprisingly easy. Also turns
out the DISKLESS3X base configuration already comes with 1024 size.
I'm stumped for now - I took down the server connection to 10/half,
tried various kernel configs. Next thing is direct link between server
and client, maybe that works.
