All,
I managed to get PXE booting working with Cobbler (I'm using DHCP outside of Cobbler)...
I notice when I run "cobbler sync," the generated /tftpboot/pxelnux.cfg/default does not contain any system records I have defined. I spent most of yesterday looking through the code and see in pxegen.py only profiles and images are listed. I managed to hack away a little bit to get my system records to emit - and its mostly working now for installations...
Question I have is, were system records purposefully omitted? Or am I missing something? I'm wanting to have all my systems listed in the PXE menu and be able to choose and install just like if I generate the iso file and burn to CD...
Thanks,
Flossy
Yup, How would I include "external" pxeboot options such as a couple OpenBSD flavours* - currently I maintain two TFTP instances and manually launch the one I need at the time - I think I'm looking for an 'include' function that survives the cobbler sync to chain in the OBSD pxe options. Or help with the cobbler config option I'm missing. thx
*I'm not worried about scripted installs here, just picking the right pxe boot file just FYI http://openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE
