Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT, Deployment Manual

Page: 226 / 322

TIP: Changing Kernel and Initrd Filenames
It is possible to use different filenames for kernel and initrd images. This
is useful if you want to provide different operating systems from the
same boot server. However, you should be aware, that only one dot is
permitted in the filenames that are provided by tftp for the pxe boot.
An example
/srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
file follows.
Adjust the protocol prefix for the installation source to match your network setup
and specify your preferred method of connecting to the installer by adding the
vnc
and
vncpassword
or the
usessh
and
sshpassword
options to the
install
entry. The lines separated by
\
must be entered as one continuous
line without a line break and without the
\
.
