1. Given our recent luck with shipments, I ain't banking on ANYTHING until I actually see it.
2. Although I DID read the announcement, I never would have known there's a new one if all I ever clicked on the front page were the chevrons...something for us to think about (not very hard, tho') | Broncolanche

Whaddya need a CD-ROM drive on that machine for?
At worst, floppy boot it, but most modern nics are tftpboot-compatible, so installing off a CD-ROM mounted on a local machine should be easily doable, for the cost of RTFM and setting up a couple of temporary services on a local linux box :)

No such luck at work, where it currently lives. I could either set up a RIS server and do it in Windows, or go with my second option...
I'm brining in a Knoppix CD and a cross-over cable. I think I've got the instructions from there - but I've never done PXE boot before.
No floppy in it either. The CD and Floppy connectors on the Mobo are placed such that I would have to remove just about every screw in the case to get to it.
On the plus side, this case is bulletproof. | tarnish

Reposted on: 1.12.10 2318.38 | If you were going to stick with Debian, there's rather extensive netboot instructions in the install guide.
It's mostly a matter of picking a protocol, setting up an appropriate server, and making sure the files is where the files need to be. | Guru Zim

Reposted on: 1.12.10 2357.20 | Oh right, Knoppix is Debian. But a Knoppix CD doesn't really buy you anything -- you're still going to have to do the same thing, i.e. set up a TFTP and a DHCP server (or, technically, BOOTP or RARP), create a tftpboot directory, and move appropriate files into it. If you are intending to install Debian, I'd check the install manual for what files need to be there (do a search for "PXE").
The machine boots to the NIC, sends out a DHCP request which is answered by the machine at the other end of the crossover cable. The server's configuration will tell it to serve the bootloader to the client. That bootloader fires up a kernel, mounts an image of a minimal system into a RAMdisk, and you're off to the races as if you'd booted from floppy.
So you've got to set up dhcpd and tftpd on the existing box and then you can get NFS set up (easy enough) for the install or do an ftp install.
Here's hoping you've got reasonably standard hardware ;) | Guru Zim

Reposted on: 2.12.10 0010.55 | ...I should really take this to PM but it's so educational.
So I was looking at this http://www.kegel.com/linux/pxe.html and I thought that I could just run the Knoppix CD on my laptop, put a crossover cable to the Intel NIC, and then boot the server. I'm hoping that the PXE stuff is turned on automatically - it seems like that's what the article says.
Now, whether or not this actually works with the 3ware SATA RAID controllers or not - that's another story. |
