Hello everyone,
I am in the process of setting up a home boot server using pxelinux. I
have started creating a menu using menu.c32, and I want to add System
Rescue CD to that. Is there any way I can point PXE to load the
isolinux.cfg that comes with SystemRescueCD (I will now on refer to this
file simply as isolinux.cfg), but not in the "menu" mode? I want to do
that so all the information and boot options of SystemRescueCD are available
So far the 2 options I have found out are:
1) Create a menu item that boots directly the default kernel of
SystemRescueCD. Repeat for each other boot option needed.
2) Modify isolinux.cfg to make it display a proper menu using menu.c32,
with proper labels etc. May need revision with newer version of
SystemRescueCD
I don't like any of the above options. I would just like to be able to
load isolinux.cfg as if it was the initial config file. I have tested it
by renaming to default and it works fine, exactly like booting from CD.
I think that what I need is to load the standard pxelinux binary
"kernel" with isolinux.cfg conf file,instead of the default. I tried
that but pxelinux.0 seems to ignore conf filename. Is there another
(possibly .c32) kernel I can use for this purpose?
Hope I made my problem clear
Thank you in advance
Giannis
