how to config debian pxe server for windows, solaris clients
My debian server can pxe boot and build debian OS. (i'm using hdcp3-server and tftpd-hpa)
However, when googling for a solution to configure the debian server so that i can pxe windows and solaris client servers (i know solaris jumpstart can do that however I'd try to get Debian to do what solaris jumpstart can), I can't find any relevant guide.
Wondering anyone has experience, guide or tool to use Debian as pxe boot server for Solaris (or even windows) client?
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated!
Below is my current setup in my tftp root directory
# tree /var/lib/tftpboot/
/var/lib/tftpboot/
|-- boot.txt
|-- debian
| `-- etch
| `-- i386
| |-- initrd.gz
| `-- linux
|-- pxelinux.0
`-- pxelinux.cfg
`-- default
4 directories, 5 files
initrd.gz, linux, pxelinux.0 are from Debian squeeze repository.
Content of boot.text is shown as below:
- Boot Menu -
=============
squeeze_i386_install
squeeze_i386_expert
squeeze_i386_rescue
solaris_10
content of /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
DISPLAY boot.txt
DEFAULT squeeze_i386_install
LABEL squeeze_i386_install
kernel debian/squeeze/i386/linux
append vga=normal initrd=debian/squeeze/i386/initrd.gz --
LABEL squeeze_i386_expert
kernel debian/squeeze/i386/linux
append priority=low vga=normal initrd=debian/squeeze/i386/initrd.gz --
LABEL squeeze_i386_rescue
kernel debian/squeeze/i386/linux
append vga=normal initrd=debian/squeeze/i386/initrd.gz rescue/enable=true --
LABEL solaris_10
kernel ????????
append ???? --
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 0
I guess I need the right kernel file etc...
Appreciate your input!
