This document shows quick and dirty how to install a working PXE boot server on OpenSuse 10.3

We start of course with a working server with a static IP address and a working DHCP server. If you haven't got one already, please make sure that you get this working before you continue!

Then goto Yast and

  • select Network Services
  • TFTP Server,
  • click enable and point to /tftpboot
  • open port in FireWall
  • possibly create the /tftpboot dir
  • and then Quit.

then:

  • goto Yast and install the Syslinux package
  • (as root) #mkdir -p /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
  • copy the file /usr/share/syslinux/pxelinux.0 to /tftpboot
  • create the file /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default with the following content:
default linux
prompt 1
timeout 30
label linux
kernel linux
append initrd=initrd splash=silent
showopts
