Hi,
I looking for some information on this option how does it work and how to set 
this option in the dhcpd.conf file.
I found this information:

   This option specifies the length in 512-octet blocks of the default
   boot image for the client.  The file length is specified as an
   unsigned 16-bit integer.

   The code for this option is 13, and its length is 2.

    Code   Len   File Size
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+
   |  13 |  2  |  l1 |  l2 |
   +-----+-----+-----+-----+

But what does it mean ' File Size'  of lenght 16-bit ( 16 bit are 65KB) is 
very little for a boot-file . What is the default size ?
