I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but how do I get a machine to
automatically reboot itself at the end of a FAI install?
flag_reboot=1
I do it in the FAI_FLAGS that are passed in the pxe config. Example:
overlord:/srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg# cat x86_template
# template generated by fai-chboot for host node-28 with IP 10.23.5.138
from source /srv/tftp/fai/pxelinux.cfg/0A170589.disable
# generated by fai-chboot for host node-27 with IP 10.23.5.137
default fai-generated
label fai-generated
kernel vmlinuz-install
append ip=dhcp FAI_ACTION=install FAI_FLAGS=reboot root=/dev/nfs
For the time being, I have to use a boot CD. But the dhcp.conf file says
this:
option FAI_FLAGS "verbose,createvt,sshd,reboot";
I don't know if that means anything. I didn't set up the dhcp server. The
guy who did doesn't work here any more. But the other thing is that i'm
eventually going to need to set the reboot flag in a script depending on
user imput. So even if I could get it to recognize the flag in the dhcp
settings, that's not really what I need.
PS: The main reason I have to use a boot CD is that I'm blind and I can't
easily config a BIOS. I am hoping to find a solution for that eventually.
