I have now managed to get it working to the point were i have the familiar |
| 5 |
shell during installation! I had the wrong kernel arguments before. ... What |
| 6 |
i need to do now is to work on a way of having automatic configuration, |
| 7 |
something like redhat's kickstart. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Here is the entry in my pxelinux.cfg/default |
| 10 |
label gentoo2004-1 |
| 11 |
kernel gentoo |
| 12 |
append initrd=gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=zisofs |
| 13 |
loop=/zisofs cdroot vga=0x317 splash=silent |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
and i store the kernel and the initrd image in my tftpboot dir. |
