Ok,<br><br>So i have spent a few hours tonight following this guide:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Diskless_Frontend">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Diskless_Frontend</a><br>
</div><br>1. I have so far set up VMware Server to test with. also install tftp server.<br><br>2. For my DHCP server i use DD-WRT, i put this option in DNSmasq Options:<br><div style="margin-left: 40px;">dhcp-boot=linux-install/pxelinux.0,,<a href="http://192.168.0.202">192.168.0.202</a><br>
</div> where .202 is my server that holds the NFS files (F8).<br><br>3. then configured my /diskless/i386/F8/root and /snapshot directories.<br>Then i ran system-config-netboot. and pointed it to my nfs share points. that went and gave no erros.<br>
<br>4. tftp look like this:<br><br>[root@mythtv linux-install]# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp<br># default: off<br># description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \<br># protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \<br>
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \<br># and to start the installation process for some operating systems.<br>service tftp<br>{<br> disable = no<br> socket_type = dgram<br>
protocol = udp<br> wait = yes<br> user = root<br> server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd<br> server_args = -s /tftpboot -v<br>
per_source = 11<br> cps = 100 2<br> flags = IPv4<br>}<br>[root@mythtv linux-install]# <br><br><br>So, when i start my VM machine i see it get a IP then look to the tftp server. i then get a page that says "Welcome to the Red Hat Network Installer, Enter the # for the OS you want to install."<br>
<br>So why am I get a OS install? I want to boot diskless! In my system-config-netboot i configured for a diskless and have a profile created named mythfe.<br><br>help please!<br><br>Thanks,<br>Mitchell<br><br>
