Bug Fix
BZ#642694
Previously, yaboot netboot failed to operate in an environment where the gateway is not same as the 'tftp' server, even though the 'tftp' server is on the same subnet. This issue was caused by yaboot's inability to check whether an IP address is valid. With this update, an IP address validity check has been added that resolves this issue.
All users of yaboot are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
