The basics are:
- Use DHCP
- Install a tftpd somewhere reachable
- Configure the dhcpd to hand out a PXELINUX binary (pxelinux.0 or
gpxelinux.0 for example) and to point to the tftpd for next-server if
it's not on the same machine as the dhcpd.
- Copy the PXELINUX binary to the tftpd
- Copy a kernel/initrd that are ready for PXE boot (or can be
configured to be such via command line options)
- Create a simple Syslinux config on the tftpd (doc/syslinux.txt for
its format; doc/pxelinux.txt for its name)
You might also find http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX
useful to read. There are more complex setups possible but I'd advise
starting simple like this first.
