Ok.. Slow down here.. :) The install / os / bin / dosbin / etc... directories don't go under the TFTPboot tree.
Here's a better way to think of things. All tftpboot does is replace the Boot CD. So, with that in mind.. You only need 4 files and a few directories inside the tftpboot directory. ( Personally, I have all the unattended stuff under a sub folder, so the tree below will reflect that. ) /tftpboot/unattended |-- pxelinux.0 |-- pxelinux.cfg | `-- default `-- unattended |-- bzimage `-- initrd Now, you can have many more things under here.. but this structure will get ya going.. The contents of "default" which is the last config file that pxelinux will look for are as follows: -------------------------------------------- default local timeout 300 prompt 1 label local localboot 0 label go kernel unattended/bzimage append initrd=unattended/initrd z_user=guest z_pass=guest quiet -------------------------------------------- the "default local" line and the "label local" section will allow any system to boot to the local harddrive by default after a 30 second timeout ( generated by the "timeout 300" line ). You need the "prompt 1" line to give a boot prompt where you have to type "go" and press enter to start the unattended boot process. inside of dhcpd.conf, you should have: -------------------------------------------- filename "/unattend/pxelinux.0"; next-server 10.0.0.1; -------------------------------------------- Change the ip address on the next-server line to be the server which has tftp running on it. Also... Make sure you have tftp running. Even if it's installed, by default it is still turned off on most distros. You can copy the bzimage and initrd directly off of a working boot CD into the tftpboot tree depicted above, and don't move anything else. Michael J.
