Setting up TFTP Server for a PXE Boot
They're are several things that are required to set up a machine so
that it can provide all the necessay information to PXE boot a remote
machine, which are list below
- Get the TFTP server to work. Call up `yast2 tftp-server' and enable
TFTP server.
- Set up the DHCP Server
- Copy the SuSe installation to somewhere accessible. Simple copy
the contents of the SuSe dvd to disk - I've put it in
/export/ellesmere/suse/SU930_001.
- Create the TFTP boot directory which will
contain kernel, initial
RAM disk (initrd) and configuration file
- Create a remote control file
- Make sure that the directories containing the SuSe installation
and the remote control file are shared through the NFS server,
i.e. `yast2 nfs-server' and add something like `/export/ellesmere'
and `/var/lib/autoinstall/repository' with
- Hosts wildcard: @met_all
- Options: rw
