Operation Manual

4
Change to the directory of your installation repository and copy the isolinux
.cfg le to /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default by entering the
following:
cp -a boot/<architecture>/loader/isolinux.cfg
/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
5
Edit the /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default le and remove the lines
beginning with readinfo and framebuffer.
6
Insert the following entries in the append lines of the default failsafe and apic
labels:
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 denes 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 denes 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 prex, 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 2.4,
“Booting the Target System for Installation” (page 65).
