Sorry everybody, ?by mistakenly I typed ip word, actually the question is
How to find the client machine hardware address(MAC address) which doesn't
have any OS installed from server.
Easiest method is one that was pointed out earlier - boot with a
liveCD. Once booted up, ifconfig should show the MAC address (assuming
the card is common enough for drivers to be loaded from the image).
Some OS needs to be running to check it out under normal
circumstances.
The other option is to try a network boot and check request on the
server side for MAC address. This needs far more knowhow than the
first.
