I assume you are trying avoid the situation where you do a network install,
and then when the node reboots, it doesn't reboot from the hard drive, but
does another network install!
There are various ways to get around this problem, all of which involve
moving the HEX file out of the way after the install is complete, or
changing the node's HEX file to boot from the local disk after the install
is complete. One of these techniques is described in the AutoYaST2 guide
(http://www.suse.de/~nashif/autoinstall/8.1/html/x789.html#AEN840). Even
if you don't use SuSE, this technique applies to other Linux distros. Here
is the relevant text:
You can watch the syslog file on your TFTP server and whenever a
client got its initial
RAM disk transmitted, you can remove the symlink for that machine
from the
pxelinux.cfg directory. This forces the client to load the default
configuration
which says: "Boot from local disk!" when it reboots after AutoYaST is
done.
If this is not the situation that you are encountering, then I don't
understand the problem. It usually takes less than a second for pxe to
scan through all the combinations of the HEX filename and eventually find
the default problem.

HiYa,
Does anybody know of a way to overide the network boot setting so when you
network boot a client, instead of it trying to load,
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT - last character>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT- last 2 characters>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT- last 3 characters>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT- last 4 characters>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT- last 5 characters>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT- last 6 characters>
pxelimux.cfg/<HEX_IP_OF_CLIENT- last 7 characters>
pxelimux.cfg/default
it goes after the
pxelimux.cfg/default
right away?
thanks
