[syslinux] multibootmenue with pxe clients
Hello Ralf, from Vienna too it seems... That is an easy way to do... skip the dhcpserver, work and implement a call like this subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {>>>>>> filename "/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/pxelinux.0"; <<<<<<<<<<option routers 192.168.0.1; option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option domain-name "net.co.at"; option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1; option netbios-node-type 2; range dynamic-bootp 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.253; } next look at the "tftpboot_root"/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install//pxelinux.cfg/default # Perform a local boot by default default local # Always prompt prompt 1 # Display the bootup message display pxeboot.msg # Boot automatically after 3 seconds timeout 30 label local localboot 0 # The rest of this file is machine-generated. label inst kernel memdisk append initrd=undis3c.img keeppxe>>>>>> thats nearly the basic-config.What it does... if you type inst label inst will be run, else a local boot is performed. You want to boot another image as default? OK just define another label local i. E. label local kernel memdisk append initrd=mmydefault.img keeppxe That should fit. Didn't try that but it looks good. bye willi moser MOSER Willi Daten- und Informationstechnologie Gentzgasse 65/13 A-1180 WIEN Phone : +43 (0) 1 92 94 126 Mobile: +43 (0699) 1 92 94 126 URL: moser-willi.at CAUTION: This e-mail message and accompanying data may contain information that is confidential and subject to privilege.
