I have a machine with only a serial console that I'd like to
install 6.06.1 i386 server onto.
Some weeks ago I installed 6.06.1 on a Soekris box and some years ago
on an IBM-Thinkpad with damaged (=no) CD-ROM: attached my notes in
German (English summary follows below):
ENGLISH summary:
You need a (Ubuntu)-Box with TFTP-Server, DHCP-Server installed, one
CD-drive with the Server-CD and the Net-Installer-Image in /var/lib/
tftpboot/ubuntu-installer. (The Server CD you have, the Netbootimag
can be downloaded from the Ubuntu-Webpage, or copied from CD)
1. cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf (if you use dhcpd you may have to change
this a bit)
...
## Installation Ubuntu ueber PXE
dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,0.0.0.0
...
2. Copy Image:
$ cp -R /media/cdrom/../netboot /var/lib/tftpboot
sudo chown -R nobody:nogroup /var/lib/tftpboot/
3. Start the TFTPServer:
sudo in.tftpd -l -a 192.168.4.254 -s /var/lib/tftpboot
4. Connect your box
5. Boot your box
Sorry, that this is not a perfect documentation (more my personal
notes) - if you need some more details, pls. ask.
