My JS Krups is resisting netbooting. I see it doing a DHCP discover, and I see Kea responding with an offer, but then it just sends another Discover. Hmph. I can get to the serial console and doing boot net from there doesn't help; none of the keyboard shortcuts for network diag etc seem to work (except the one that displays the help for it...). So I took the flash SIM out and now it boots to Net rather than flash by default; alas with the same DHCP behaviour. Time to try isc-dhcp.…

A horribly hacky serial setup; between two keyboards sits a serial breakout box, various wires and crock clip leads. It's working by good luck rather than physics, The lights for RX/TX are green and the next LED is red.
