Booting to local partition / Boot grub from Pxe
Hey,
I plan to deploy iPxe to my machines. Since I can't flash it into the NIC, I will boot iPxe from grub, no problem so far. IPxe fetches a script from the server via https and I got that part working nicely. However, I will then need to be able to boot from a local partition: I know I can use 'sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x80'. But that just reloads grub from the MBR. If iPxe is the default entry, this will boot iPxe again and I have a boot-loop. Is there a way to directly boot a kernel from a local partition? I did not find anything in the command list, so probably not, since Ipxe probably does not understand how to read those filesystems. Alternatively, is there a way to boot into a grub image on the PXE server? I tried to generate a grub pxeboot image, using Code: grub-mknetdir --net-directory=/tftpboot/ --subdir=grubpxe Code: kernel http://.../files/grubpxe/i386-pc/core.0 If I could load a grub menu from the server, I will then be able to boot from a local partition. Any help is appreciated |
