For more information on configuring whether to display the menu, see Section 29.4.1, “Configuring
Preboot Services Menu Options,” on page 371 .
There might be circumstances when you want to modify the options on the Preboot Services Menu.
You can customize these options by editing a text file contained on the imaging server. For example,
you can:
Š Add, delete, and modify menu options
Š
Change the color scheme
Š Change the menu title and screen name
The following procedure should be done on each imaging server where you want to customize the
menu.
To edit the Preboot Services Menu:
1 In a text editor, open the following file on an imaging server where novell-proxydhcp is
running:
/srv/tftp/pxemenu.txt
IMPORTANT: If you want to save the default options for this menu, we recommend that you
make a backup copy of
pxemenu.txt
, such as
pxemenu_orig.txt
.
A
pxemenu65.txt
file also exists for use by ZENworks 6.5 PXE devices that attach to
ZENworks 7.2 servers through Preboot Services server referrals (see Section 28.3.6, “Preboot
Referral Lists,” on page 328 ). Its content and format is the same as
pxemenu.txt
, so
instructions in this section apply equally to
pxemenu65.txt
, except where data is different
for ZENworks 6.5.
The following is the content of the default Preboot Services Menu’s
pxemenu.txt
file:
#This file describes a PXEMenu
