Re: [gentoo-user] grub + pxeboot

[Mike Huber]

There was a really good guide on how to do this (at least, from the point of view of booting an nfs-mounted root directory) in the alternate installation guide.  I'm pretty sure that you have to compile grub with the --enable-diskless option.  I'm not really sure how to do that easily within portage, but I'm sure someone will chime in with an appropiate answer.  Obviously PXE-booting requires a machine with a modern enough BIOS to support it.

Hi folks,


I'd like to let grub boot an PXE bootloader, so I've got the
option to boot from network instead of local disk.
How can I do this ?

Currently I'm using an PXE bootdisk to boot from network, but
this is not satisfying.


thx
