Hi everyone,
I managed to install a pxe grub and boot from it. What I want to do is use
http instead of tftp as I have large files (iso's, archived root
filesystems, etc) and the transfer time improves over http.
Until now I was achieving this using iPXE and syslinux and I wanted to give
grub2 a spin as it has a lot more features.
My menu entry looks something like this:
*menuentry 'Install Debian 6.0 amd64' {*
* insmod net*
* insmod http*
* set netboot='http,10.100.16.23'*
* linux (netboot)/debian/6.0/amd64/linux*
* initrd vga=normal
initrd=(netboot)/debian/6.0/amd64/initrd.gz -- quiet*
* }*
I know the debian kernel and initrd are small but, this is just to show
what I've tried. I've looked on the net low and high but, couldn't find
anything related to this kind of setup.
