Hi Erich,
Thanks for the suggestions. I now have the x86_64 part set up but have
some questions regarding to the "tricks".
1. Should all the "tricks" be done before building the i386 image with
OSCAR? Or it does not matter?
2. Does the file /tftpboot/install-i386.pxe look like the following?
(the part after MONITOR_SERVER= is removed)
LABEL systemimager
KERNEL kernel-install-i386
APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd-install-i386.img root=/dev/ram
noexec=off MONITOR_SERVER=....
LABEL kernel
KERNEL kernel-install-i386
APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd-install-i386.img root=/dev/ram
noexec=off MONITOR_SERVER=...
LABEL linux
KERNEL kernel-install-i386
APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd-install-i386.img root=/dev/ram
noexec=off MONITOR_SERVER=...
LABEL boel
KERNEL kernel-install-i386
APPEND vga=extended initrd=initrd-install-i386.img root=/dev/ram
noexec=off MONITOR_SERVER=...
3. Does the file /etc/netbootmgr.conf look like the following?
MENU Install:__default__
MENU LocalBoot:localboot
MENU Kernel-x:kernel-install-i386
MENU Memtest:memtest86
Thanks a lot for your help.
