Congure the PXE Linux image.
# mkdir /home/pxeboot/pxelinux.cfg/
# touch /home/pxeboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
Edit the /usr/local/etc/neopxe.conf conguration le, which is read by neopxe at startup.
If the neopxe.conf le is not in the /usr/local/etc directory, you can copy it from the
/tmp/name-pxefiles/neopxe-0.2.0/ directory.
A valid conguration le must have entries for each of the following lines, including at least one
service line.
ip_addr=n.n.n.n
prompt=boot-prompt-string
prompt_timeout=timeout
service=service-number,boot-server,boot-le,label
■
n.n.n.n is the IP address of your PXE server.
■
boot-prompt-string is the character string displayed during a network boot that prompts the
user to press the F8 key for a boot menu.
■
timeout is the number of seconds the prompt is displayed before the server defaults to the
rst service for booting.
■
service-number is an integer in the range of 1 to 254 that identies the boot service.
■
boot-server is the IP address of the boot server for that boot service.
■
boot-le is the name of the boot le that is read from your /home/pxeboot directory.
■
label is the text string that is displayed when the boot menu is invoked by pressing the F8
key.
ip_addr=192.168.0.1
prompt=Press [F8] for menu...
prompt_timeout=10
service=1,192.168.0.1,pxelinux.0,Linux
service=2,192.169.0.1,nbp.unknown,Solaris
