For pa-risc systems, I normally had to set up a boot helper to get the 
system to talk to the ignite server. Itanium systems are radically 
different. I'm slowly learning stuff about the EFI - and tis is one of the 
cooler things

In order to get an ia64 system to boot off the lan, boot the system, 
interrupt the boot, if necessary, and get into the EFI shell. From there, 
create a dbprofile as follows::

   dbprofile -dn "${name}" -cip 192.168.12.10 -sip 192.168.52.2 \
   -gip 192.168.12.1 -m 255.255.255.0 -b "/opt/ignite/boot/nbp.efi"

   *  -cip = client IP address
   *  -sip = ignite server IP address
   *  -gip = client gateway IP address
   *  -m = client netmask
   *  -b = client boot kernel

Once done, execute lanboot select -dn ${name} and, eventually you should 
then be presented with the standard ignite interface.
