Hi,
why not create a default entry in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/[IP address]
for booting from local disc and another entry for installation? The same
way suse does it on the installation medium.

Thema: Re: [suse-autoinstall] How do I prevent re-install? [FinanzIT: Viruscheck]

This is not a clean way, but what I do is to move the config file from
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/[IP address] to another name (I chose [ip Address]
_local). that way the machine will boot from local disk. I just run a
script when I want to install a machine that 1st moves the config file to
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/[IP address], then after some time (10 min) renames
the file to something that will not be found.
Im sure there is a cleaner way to do this .....

Goal: Unnattended install of SUSE 9.1 using autoyast2.
I've successfully done a minimal installation using auto-yast on SuSE 9.1.
After the client finished install, it rebooted. It's set to boot from PXE
so
it started up the entire install process. and started to install again.
I have
false set in the config file.
In chapter 4 of the docs it states:
"Change starting from SUSE Linux 9.1/SLES9
The reboot property in the mode resource was used to force a reboot after
initial system setup and before the system is rebooted for the first time.
Currently after initial installation all systems must reboot, which makes
thes option obsolete."
Given that a reboot is inevitable, how do I stop a perpetual install loop?
