4.3.2 Configuring dhcpd
dhcpd is responsible for telling the computer where it can find the boot
image. The computer, which functions as a network client, is assigned an IP
address. YaST includes a module for configuring dhcpd. Provide a client
with the location of the boot image using the parameter filename.
I x86, AMD64, EM64T
filename "pxelinux.0";
J
I IPF
filename "elilo.efi";
J
If tftpd is not running on the same server as dhcpd, also enter the address
of the tftpd server in the configuration:
next-server sun
4.3.3 Launching the Boot Process
During the boot process, the computer’s BIOS automatically searches for
a boot source. The dhcp server answers this query and provides the data
necessary to boot with either PXE or elilo.
Before the actual boot process starts, a “boot:” prompt is displayed, after
which you can enter any additional parameters for kernel and linuxrc, if
needed.
