Didn't work. There must be something else going on here. ----- Original Message ----- | Thanks, I'll give that a try today. ;) | | ----- Original Message ----- | | On Wednesday 26 Jan 2011 07:08:21 James A.

The script should never | | continue | | beyond this point, in either gPXE or iPXE, since autoboot will | | either | | fail or | | never return. | | | | I assume you're trying to acquire an address via DHCP, in which case | | maybe | | something like: | | | | #!ipxe | | echo "Hi There!

We will be booting from http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/ | | today." | | echo "It is assumed that you have dhcp networking." | | :retry | | dhcp || goto retry | | set 209:string pxelinux.cfg/default | | set 210:string http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/tftpboot/ | | echo "Here we go!" | | chain http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 || goto retry | | | | which would cause both DHCP and the HTTP download to be retried | | indefinitely if | | e.g. the server were to be temporarily offline. | | | | Michael | | -- | James A.
