I already know how PXE works, etc. That's not an issue. The issue is I want to network boot openSUSE.
I do this quite frequently.
Anyone have working recent instructions on how to accomplish this? All I need is to boot a (single) machine over PXE and run firefox.
You need tftp running. I have it running with xinetd, working dir = tftpboot. In tftpboot I have the following: vmlinuz-2.6.37-20-tc8137 initrd-2.6.37-20-tc8135-2 kernel-factory-11.4 initrd-factory-11.4 pxelinux.0 pxelinux.cfg/ pxelinux.cfg/01-00-01-80-3f-be-48 01-00-01-80-3f-be-48 is the PXE boot config for a machine with a NIC with MAC-address = 00:01:80:3f:be:48 serial 0 9600 default normal prompt 1 timeout 50 say Choose normal, install or memtest: label normal kernel vmlinuz-2.6.37-20-tc8137 append initrd=initrd-2.6.37-20-tc8135-2 root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.2.170:/var/pifs/pi03/root rootflags=hard,intr,v3,wsize=8192,rsize=8192 splash=verbose ip=dhcp label install kernel kernel-factory-11.4 append initrd=initrd-factory-11.4 usessh=1 sshpassword=1234 vga=normal noresume install=http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss splash=verbose proxy=http://squid.local.net:3128 label memtest kernel memtest.bin Kernel & initrds are from: vmlinuz-2.6.37-20-tc8137 - running system of same kind. initrd-2.6.37-20-tc8135-2 - running system of same kind. kernel-factory-11.4 - boot/i386/loader/linux initrd-factory-11.4 - boot/i386/loader/initrd -- Per Jessen, Zürich (23.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
