I'm feeling really stupid here.... I seem to be missing something about the
syslinux config file. I'm booting a workstation via pxelinux. Everything
is cool, life is great, but I seem to be missing something about the config
file. I have:
display menu.dpy
timeout 35000
default netboot
label netboot
kernel vmlinuz.nfs
append root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.1.1.4:/home/image/1
ip=10.1.1.200:10.1.1.4:10.1.1.1:255.255.255.0::eth0:off
label localboot
localboot 0
and whenever the machine boots, it automatically loads the netboot config.
If I take out the default line, when it boots it displays "could not find
kernel image: linux" or similar. How do I tell it to not automatically
take the default action? Or is this something specific to pxelinux? Or is
there a chance that the bios is preloading the keyboard buffer with an
"enter"? (dell poweredge 1550). I'm just confused.
On a similar note, the distribution comes with some files in the samples/
directory, but those are only for display files. Are there any samples
floating around of interesting configuration files?
Thanks,
