Here is my understanding about pxelinux:
- it is proxy dhcp server, so it must be telling
PXEClient boot file name (i.e. pxelinux.0)
-once pxelinux.0 starts running at client side, it
reads pxelinux.cfg/AppropriateConfigClientFile
- then pxelinux.0 image (say initrd.img) with the help
of memdisk (memdisk is just used as a RAM disk driver)
Is it correct?
I want to boot Windows PE 2.0 from pxelinux.
I was trying to boot pxeboot.0 (wrenamed pxeboot.n12 -
indows pe network boot program) using pxelinux.
i tried following configurations but failed:
1. kernel boot/pxeboot.0
initrd=somegarbage kepxe
2. kernel memdisk
initrd=boot\pxeboot.0 kepxe
Can someone please advice?
