3/29 Does anyone know how to make multiple computers do PXE network
boot? I'm trying to build low-end diskless clusters but I don't
know where to begin, like which PXE server to use, how to prepare
boot image or partition HD, etc. Thanks.
\_ OS? FreeBSD has pxeboot, Linux has pxelinux, and I believe there
are a bunch of Windows tools. (I'm assuming x86-based.) I have
some old configs for the first two if you want. -John
\_ You might also look at DragonFlyBSD, which forked off from
FreeBSD 4.x and has done a lot of work for this sort of network
boot scenario. http://shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog highlights some of it. |
| shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog -> shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/ removed all the old sound support that dates ba ck to before NEWPCM was added in FreeBSD-4. This probably does not affec t anyone, as this is all for old, rare equipment, usually ISA. If that doesn't make sense to you, this means that the current "bleeding edge" code has been moved to "Stable" status, as there's no outstanding problems with it. If you're using the "DragonFly_Stable" tag in your CVS up file, you'll have some new things to download. |
