Hi all
I want to select a different NFS install path depending on options
passed through PXELINUX. Something like:
pxelinux.cfg
------------
label el3_lws_safe
kernel el3u5_x86_64/vmlinuz
append ksdevice=eth0
ks=nfs:a.b.c.d:/export/install/rhel_x86_64_testing.cfg load_ramdisk=1
initrd=el3u5_x86_64/initrd.img
ipappend 1
ks.cfg
------
lang en_US
langsupport en_US
keyboard us
mouse genericwheelps/2
timezone --utc Australia/Perth
rootpw --iscrypted <snip>
reboot
install
%include /tmp/nfs.cfg
bootloader --location=mbr
%pre
#!/bin/sh -x
for I in `cat /proc/cmdline`; do
echo $I | grep -q initrd && P=`dirname \`echo $I | cut -d= -f2\``
Done
echo "nfs --server=a.b.c.d --dir=/export/install/${P}" > /tmp/nfs.cfg
---
However, when I do this, anaconda asks for the install type (CDROM,
harddisk, ftp, nfs, etc) and refuses to use NFS.
Is this possible? Is anyone else doing anything similar?
Thanks
CC
