Operation Manual
PXELINUX uses the following syntax:
label mylabel
kernel mykernel
append myoptions
Labels are mangled as if they were lenames and they must be unique after man-
gling. For example, the two labels “v2.6.30” and “v2.6.31” would not be distin-
guishable under PXELINUX because both mangle to the same DOS lename.
The Kernel does not have to be a Linux Kernel; it can be a boot sector or a COM-
BOOT le.
APPEND -
Append nothing. APPEND with a single hyphen as argument in a LABEL section
can be used to override a global APPEND.
LOCALBOOT type
On PXELINUX, specifying LOCALBOOT 0 instead of a KERNEL option means
invoking this particular label and causes a local disk boot instead of a Kernel boot.
DescriptionArgument
Perform a normal boot
0
Perform a local boot with the Univer-
sal Network Driver Interface (UNDI)
driver still resident in memory
4
Perform a local boot with the entire
PXE stack, including the UNDI
driver, still resident in memory
5
All other values are undened. If you do not know what the UNDI or PXE stacks
are, specify 0.
TIMEOUT time-out
Indicates how long to wait at the boot prompt until booting automatically, in units
of 1/10 second. The time-out is canceled as soon as the user types anything on the
keyboard, assuming the user will complete the command begun. A time-out of zero
