Operation Manual
insmod=kernel module
By means of this entry, enter the network kernel module needed to support
network installation on the PXE client. Replace kernel module with the
appropriate module name for your network device.
netdevice=interface
This entry denes the client's network interface that must be used for the
network installation. It is only necessary if the client is equipped with several
network cards and must be adapted accordingly. In case of a single network
card, this entry can be omitted.
install=nfs://ip_instserver/path_to_repository/DVD1
This entry denes the NFS server and the repository for the client installation.
Replace ip_instserver with the actual IP address of your installation
server. path_to_repository should be replaced with the actual path
to the repository. HTTP, FTP, or SMB repositories are addressed in a similar
manner, except for the protocol prex, which should read http, ftp, or
smb.
IMPORTANT
If you need to pass other boot options to the installation routines,
such as SSH or VNC boot parameters, append them to the install
entry. An overview of parameters and some examples are given in
Section 1.4, “Booting the Target System for Installation” (page 32).
TIP: Changing Kernel and Initrd Filenames
It is possible to use different lenames for kernel and initrd images. This
is useful if you want to provide different operating systems from the
same boot server. However, you should be aware that only one dot is
permitted in the lenames that are provided by tftp for the pxe boot.
An example /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default le follows.
Adjust the protocol prex for the repository to match your network setup and
specify your preferred method of connecting to the installer by adding the vnc
and vncpassword or the usessh and sshpassword options to the
Remote Installation 27
