I've succesfully installed PXE booting from the release discs. You need
to setup a TFTP server (which you probably already have), a DHCP server
and an NFS server. Details of my setup are:
#in dhcpd.conf
subnet 192.168.124.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
filename "/boot/pxeboot";
option root-path "192.168.124.1:/tftpboot";
next-server 192.168.124.1;
range 192.168.124.64 192.168.124.127;
}
515,p1,0$ grep ^tftp /etc/inetd.conf
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot
506,p1,0$ ls -l /tftpboot
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 Oct 29 14:20 /tftpboot -> /mnt
507,p1,0$ mount |grep mnt
/dev/vn0 on /mnt (cd9660, NFS exported, local, read-only)
513,p1,0$ grep mnt /etc/exports
/mnt -alldirs -ro -network 192.168.124.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.124.1
With this setup I boot into the live CD, and from there I use the
install.sh scripts to copy the distribution.
