Using IBM Bootable Media Creator with xCAT

With a few hacks I was able to get somewhere with this... I wasn't able to update everything nor restore the bios. 1.  I downloaded the tool from IBM site:  http://www-947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5079820&brandind=5000008 2.  I put this in the /tftpboot/bomc directory. 3.  Copied /tftpboot/bomc/[tcrootfs|tc.zip] into /tftpboot 4.  Edited /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/dhcpd.pm line 282 made the filename say "bomc/pxelinux.0" instead of "pxelinux.0" 5.  Edited /tftpboot/bomc/pxelinux.cfg/default: - added: console=tty0 console=ttyS1,19200 - changed tftp server: 172.20.0.1 instead of the 9.x.x.x That got me booted up, but didn't allow me to update the firmware... lame.
