I installed 2.9.5AS by booting on a CD-ROM (image boot.iso) and doing the rest via NFS.
Yes, especially if the machine will pxeboot.
I was wondering if it was possible to avoid this CD-ROM and configure a bootp/dhpcp server instead? If this is possible, what boot image should the server send.
In the images/pxe directory of the first cd there is a kernel and initrd.img there that can be used for booting the machine via pxeboot amd pxelinux.
The easiest way to set it up is to use a linux dhcp server and the tftp server that comes with recent releases of RHL.
HTH,
The problem is, there is no images/pxeboot directory in the ia64 distribution. Does is mean it is not possible or is there a way to do it using some type of EFI boot loader?
AAH sorry I have only tested x86. I seem to remember something going by about doing this with some type of EFI boot loader but I do not remember where. Sorry.
I finally got it working by following the directions in "netbooting.txt" of the elilo package.
