PXE // EVE-NG

Setup

this is what we find in the ISO

cd /tftpboot/eve203/
ls -lhF isolinux/*.cfg
ls -lhF install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/*.cfg
#cat isolinux/txt.cfg
#cat isolinux/adtxt.cfg
#cat isolinux/rqtxt.cfg
cat install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/txt.cfg
#cat install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/adtxt.cfg
cat install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/boot-screens/rqtxt.cfg

let’s take advantage and integrate it

vi /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default 

label eve203 install
    kernel ../eve203/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux
    append vga=788 initrd=../eve203/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
    #tasks=standard

label eve203 rescue
    kernel ../eve203/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux
    append vga=788 initrd=../eve203/install/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz rescue/enable=true 

Trash

failed attempt coz was using cdrom installer images

label eve203 install
        kernel ../eve203/install/vmlinuz
        initrd ../eve203/install/initrd.gz
        append net.ifnames=0 vga=788 live-installer/net-image=http://10.1.1.253/eve203/install/filesystem.squashfs preseed/url=http://10.1.1.253/eve203/preseed/eve-bare.seed

label eve203 rescue
        kernel ../eve203/install/vmlinuz
        initrd ../eve203/install/initrd.gz
