Hawken's questions

I've recently been using PHP via mod_php, and I assumed that getting mod_perl running properly was going to require a similar setup:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

unfortunately this does nothing with mod_perl using:

AddType application/x-httpd-perl .pl

the entire script is simply sent out with a

Content-Type: application/x-httpd-perl

header.

Why doesn't mod_perl execute scripts flagged as application/x-httpd-perl as mod_php does with scripts flagged as application/x-httpd-php?

Is there a way to boot FreeBSD over TFTP?

All the instructions I've seen require you to transition to NFS after PXEBOOT has loaded.

I'm experimenting with PXE lan-boot on my Mac OS 10.6;

After some prolonged trouble shooting, I've gotten to the point where LaunchD is nicely running bootpd with the following options:

The physical setup is:

     Router (DHCP off)
        |
        |------- Mac (DHCP Server)
        |
        |------- Thin Client
        |
        |------- mobile device

When testing with a mobile device over the router's wifi I get:

bootpd[1244]: DHCP DISCOVER [en0]: <MAC ADDRESS>
bootpd[1244]: service time 0.000725 seconds

but the device never receives an IP address.

Is there an option I'm missing that it needs to give out addresses?
