Hey folks, First let me say I really like cobbler so far! Just stumbled upon it today and it was pretty easy to set up.
Except for this. I already found this page : https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/HowToPxeAnyLiveCd But it seems to be very specific in dealing with Linux Live CDs, not any old live CD as the name suggests. My scenario is that I have a live CD from Oracle/Sun for doing emergency troubleshooting on Sunfire X2250 servers. It is a DOS-based live CD. Oracle actually gives instructions here on how to make it PXE bootable with a Red Hat PXE server, but clearly they are not talking about cobbler, and the instructions are a bit incomplete at least for a guy like me with no PXE experience whatsoever. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19121-01/sf.x2250/820-4593-12/AppB.html#50540564_72480 I even went looking for a PXE server on RHEL 5.3 (via yum search) and could not find much of anything so not sure what Red Hat PXE server they are talking about. Anyway, I could REALLY used some help in getting this live CD going with Cobbler. Anyone able to help me out? I promise to add the instructions to the wiki if you want. Oh, if I take the ISO from Oracle/Sun and mount it loopback on my Linux box, here is what the contents look like if that helps [root@solexa-db SF2250]# ls -al !$ ls -al /mnt/tnt/ total 80261 dr-xr-xr-x 9 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 Dec 6 11:42 .. dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 autorun -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 245 Feb 22 2011 autorun.inf -r--r--r-- 1 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 boot.catalog -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 82147328 Feb 22 2011 boot.img -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 3370 Feb 22 2011 Copyright dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 drivers -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4050 Feb 22 2011 FR_Copyright dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 legal_notices -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 168 Feb 22 2011 README.1ST -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4587 Feb 22 2011 README.TXT dr-xr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 recovery dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 remoteflash dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 SNMP dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 Feb 22 2011 utilities thanks, -Alan -- “Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV” - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
