I'm curious, did you have any problems with the defaults? It should actually
just work.
The DHCP template in /etc/cobbler has cases for the different bootloaders, e.g.
class "pxeclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient";
if option pxe-system-type = 00:02 {
filename "ia64/elilo.efi";
} else if option pxe-system-type = 00:06 {
filename "grub/grub-x86.efi";
} else if option pxe-system-type = 00:07 {
filename "grub/grub-x86_64.efi";
} else {
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
}
If you call cobbler get-loaders, they are automatically downloaded to the
correct location.
The default kickstart with autopart should work as well.
Greetings
Andre
