Quick way to get PXE grub working:
download source for grub, configure it (./configure --enable-diskless
--enable-eepro100 --enable-rtl8139 --enable-3c90x --enable-tulip
--enable-via-rhine --enable-otulip --prefix=/tmp/fakeroot/)
do a make, then make install
go into the /tmp/fakeroot/share/grub/i386-pc dir, copy pxegrub and
nbgrub into your /tftpboot directory.
edit your dhcpd.conf to look something like this:
host term1 {
hardware ethernet 00:08:c7:49:9e:99;
fixed-address 10.0.0.101;
filename "pxegrub";
option option-150 "/menu.lst";
next-server 10.0.0.1;
}
note the option option-150 line, menu.lst is in /tftpboot and is the
grub config file. It looks something like this:
default=0
timeout=60
title Boot from Network
root (nd)
kernel /bzImage
That should get you started, I don't know if pxegrub will work stock nbi
kernels, I always use homemade ones. The other file from grub, nbgrub
is to boot from etherboot incase you have a machine w/o PXE. It is setup
the same just change "pxegrub" to "nbgrub" in your dhcpd.conf. Hope
this helps.
