Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER 11 - DEPLOYMENT, Deployment Manual

Page: 304 / 322

The same example for autoinstallation looks like this:
default linux
# default label linux
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd install=http://192.168.1.115/install/suse-enterprise/
\
autoyast=nfs://192.168.1.110/profiles/autoyast.xml
Replace the example IP addresses and paths with the data used in your setup.
Preparing to Boot from CD-ROM
There are several ways in which booting from CD-ROM can come into play in Auto-
YaST installations. Choose from the following scenarios:
Boot from SUSE Linux Enterprise Media, Get the Profile over the Network
Use this approach if a totally network-based scenario is not possible (for example,
if your hardware does not support PXE) and you have physical access to system
to install during most of the process.
You need:
• The SUSE Linux Enterprise media
• A network server providing the profile data (see Section 21.1.2, “Distributing the
Profile and Determining the autoyast Parameter” (page 288) for details)
• A floppy containing the info
file that tells the installation routines where to find
the profile
or
Access to the boot prompt of the system to install where you manually enter the
autoyast=
parameter
Boot and Install from SUSE Linux Enterprise Media, Get the Profile from a Floppy
Use this approach if an entirely network-based installation scenario would not
work. It requires physical access to the system to install for turning on the target
machine, or, in the second case, to enter the profile's location at the boot prompt.
