Or just install grub and Voyage live kernel & initrd.img. I use this grub: title Voyage-linux cf1 netboot local kernel and NFS root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-voyage boot=live netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.1:/home/voyage-0.7.5 live-getty noautologin console=ttyS0,9600n8 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-voyage-live
And this on PXE server: label 1 KERNEL vmlinuz-2.6.38-voyage APPEND initrd=initrd.img-2.6.38-voyage-live boot=live netboot=nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.1:/home/voyage-0.7.5 live-getty noautologin console=ttyS0,9600n8 On PXE / netboot server, I have all install files & scripts. I took the initrd.img from Voyage live iso. It is not the one in .tar distribution. Kernel modules are the same. Now you can get on with your other issues :-) Teco Op 17 aug 2011, om 19:06 heeft Gustin Johnson het volgende geschreven: > The systemrescuecd PXE boot environment is only 14 MB, with the rest > mounted over NFS. > > On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 7:24 PM, John Schultz <jschultz0...@gmail.com> wrote: >> In all honesty, all I need is a PXE environment to "deploy" voyage from.
