 The initrd and kernel file come rom the first bootable media 
-created by mondoarchive.
-If you mount it you should find what you need under /images
-with a name like mindi-bootroot.8192.img
-initrd is mindi.rdz and kernel is vmlinuz
+created by mondoarchive. To get them, please issue:
 
-Thus 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.
+# mount /path/to/mondorescue-1.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop
+# cp -a /mnt/cdrom/vmlinuz /var/tftpboot/vmlinuz-mondo
+# cp -a /mnt/cdrom/initrd.img /var/tftpboot/initrd-mondo
+# umount /mnt/cdrom

+Thus 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 isolinux.cfg on the first bootable media) to which you need to add the keyword pxe.
 (You need to have backup your data using the NFS option of mondoarchive)
