1.3 Preparing the Boot of the Target
System
This section covers the conguration tasks needed in complex boot scenarios. It contains
ready-to-apply conguration examples for DHCP, PXE boot, TFTP, and Wake on
LAN.
1.3.1 Setting Up a DHCP Server
There are two ways to set up a DHCP server. For openSUSE, YaST provides a graphical
interface to the process. Users can also manually edit the conguration les. For more
information about DHCP servers, see also Chapter 24, DHCP (page 399).
Setting Up a DHCP Server with YaST
To announce the TFTP server's location to the network clients and specify the boot
image le the installation target should use, add two declarations to your DHCP server
conguration.
1
Log in as root to the machine hosting the DHCP server.
2
Start YaST > Network Services > DHCP Server.
3
Complete the setup wizard for basic DHCP server setup.
4
Select Expert Settings and select Yes when warned about leaving the start-up di-
alog.

In the Congured Declarations dialog, select the subnet in which the new system
should be located and click Edit.

In the Subnet Conguration dialog select Add to add a new option to the subnet's
conguration.
