I am working on fully unattended installations ideas.
Anyone done any work on changing pxelinux boot files? The last step!
Or some other way to complete the task of automation? Might I have missed
something?
The only thing I can think of is a perl or dos tftp client!
But thought I should ask, before I do something that I am seems like it
should have been done.
It's not clear (to me anyway) what it is you are trying to accomplish.
Why do you need to change the pxelinux boot files?
A couple of things you might consider:
Rather than change the config files (if that is indeed what you need to do), you might consider changing the IP addresses handed out to the various MAC addresses. pxelinux.0 will get its config file based on what IP address it was given. So you could dynamically reconfigure your dhcp server to give out addresses from different pools.
We have every machine PXE boot all the time, and default to "localboot" in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file. Thus, we manually tell it to boot to the unattended install (for the first boot) and then just let it reboot. It subsequently PXE boots, times out, then boots from HD.
