Change to the directory of your installation repository and copy the
isolinux
.cfg
file to
/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
by entering the
following:
cp -a boot/<architecture>/loader/isolinux.cfg
/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

Edit the
/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
file and remove the
lines beginning with
gfxboot
,
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 defines 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_instsource /CD1
This entry defines the NFS server and the installation source for the client
installation. Replace
ip_instserver
with the actual IP address of your
installation server.
path_instsource
should be replaced with the actual
path to the installation sources. HTTP, FTP, or SMB sources are addressed
in a similar manner, except for the protocol prefix, 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 14.4, “Booting the Target System for Installation” (page 218).
