Thanks for your reply. I searched through my home router (Verizon G3100) and was unable to find where I would set the ‘next server’. However, following @Tom-Elliott 's instructions, I got a client started. It failed on the second partition. I don’t have the particulars, but this is much further along that I could’ve imaged last week. I am off the bed for now ( I have a fog server at work running on proxmox as well that may need my attention tomorrow). Not solved but close.
Tx again
