Hello

Using pxelinux for so long time i don't want to use pxegrub to PXE boot
solaris 10 on x86 .
So i would like to use pxelinux to do this jobs .

I use ipappend and mboot.c32 however i don't success to have the kernel
argument appended with BOOTIF :

here is what i use :

LABEL solaris
MENU DEFAULT
MENU LABEL Solaris Jumpstart
KERNEL mboot.c32
APPEND multiboot kernel/unix -v -m verbose install
http://mywebserver/jumpstart.tar -B
install_media=mynfsserver:/Flash10i86pc,install_boot=mynfsserver:/Flash10i86pc/boot
--- x86.miniroot
IPAPPEND=3

Do you ever do it ?
Does i mistake something there

Thanks a lot for your support
Stephane

Yes, no = sign after "ipappend".

To be honest I don't think I've ever tested this with mboot.c32, so I
can't guarantee it works, but if not, we should fix it.

Thanks for this fast answer .

I already tested without "=" but same behavior .
I thinks IPAPPEND work but append the BOOTIF at the end of the APPEND
line , in consequence mboot may cut this with separator --- , and the
BOOTIF will never be given to the kernel argument

Let mw know if you think to fix that soon or not

Thanks again for the great work you done with syslinux
