1README for mondo/mindi usage with PXE
2
3mondorescue now supports the possibility to deploy mondo-images using the Pre eXecution Environment (PXE) standard.
4As this README only focusses on the mondorescue part, please read how to do Linux deployments with pxelinux on http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php
5
6To use it, please do the following on your deployment server:
7
8Add the following line to your default file:
9mondo
10 kernel vmlinuz-mondo
11 initrd initrd-mondo pxe [prefix="machine"] ...
12
13Thus the PXE ROM will boot mondo's kernel and mondo's initrd in memory and will append all the right configuration options (as you find in syslinux.cfg on the mindi's floppy image) to which you need to add the keyword pxe.
14(You need to have backup your data using the NFS option of mondoarchive)
15If you used the -p option of mondoarchive, you'll have to specify the real name of mondo images to use during restore. To do that use prefix=machine on the initrd line, after the pxe keyword, to load the ISO images saved with -p machine.
16Without prefix keyword, images name mondorescue-1.iso, ... will be used.
17
18During boot mondorestore will start your NFS configuration and mount mondo's content from the network rather than from a physical media.
