Re: Is there a way to install DragonFly via network (w/o CD) ?
Ok Scott, I've made the necessary changes, slapped together the necessary
dhcpd/tftp/nfs config on a test box, and tested exporting the CD image
via NFS for pxeboot purposes. I also made /usr/local/etc an MFS mount
to potentially make your job easier in constructing the menu option.
pxeboot is able to boot into a login prompt now. I'm putting the ball
in your court!
Thanks to Simon for noting that NFS_ROOT should be sufficient... and it
was, after I fixed a few issues (not having to require a valid gateway)
in the NFS code.
And I would like to congratulate the installer team yet again! I thought
I was going to have to suggest that we make the installer work from a
pxebooted client as a warm-up to the new options. But, well, actually
it seems it already *DOES* work from a pxebooted client :-). I didn't
have to touch a thing. I just logged in as 'installer' and it worked!
Wow!
-Matt
