In SLES9 there is a feature which is not documented exactly to solve this problem: <install> ... <pxe> <pxe_localboot config:type="boolean">true</pxe_localboot> <pxelinux-config> DEFAULT linux LABEL linux localboot 0 </pxelinux-config> <tftp-server>192.168.1.1</tftp-server> </pxe> ... </install> This will make YaST upload the contents of <pxelinux-config> to the TFTP server. /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg has to be world writable.

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 <forceboot config:type="boolean">false</forceboot> 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? DT
