steps to follow (more below), create:
1 pxeboot
2 exports a nfs bootdir
3 populate bootdir
4 config dhcpd.conf
5 add hosts to dns or /etc/hosts
6 proper config for the bootdir
1. pxe
mkdir /tftboot
cp /boot/pxeboot /tftboot/
change in /etc/inetd.conf (remove #)
#tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd
tftpd -l -s /tftpboot
to
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd
tftpd -l -s /tftpboot
/etc/rc.d/inetd restart
2. exports a nfs bootdir
add this line to /etc/exports
/usr/ -maproot=0 -alldirs
add to /etc/rc.conf:
rpcbind_enable="yes"
nfs_server_enable="yes"
reboot (or restart this services nfsd mountd)
3. populate bootdir
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installworld DESTDIR=/usr/bootdir
make distribution DESTDIR=/usr/bootdir
make installkernel DESTDIR=/usr/bootdir
4. add someting like this to your /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf
host workstation {
hardware ethernet 00:13:d4:22:69:0c;
fixed-address 192.168.1.6;
filename "pxeboot";
option root-path "192.168.1.2:/usr/workstation";
option domain-name "martenvijn.nl";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.2;
}
change the ipnumbers for your ipspace, macaddress and local config
sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/isc-dhcpd.sh restart
5. in the hostfiles in /etc/hosts and /bootdir/etc/hosts
192.168.1.6 bert
192.168.1.2 ernie
I use dns for this.
6. in /usr/bootdir/etc/rc.conf
hostname="workstation.martenvijn.nl"
rpcbind_enable="yes"
nfs_client_enable="yes"
populate_var="yes"
in /usr/bootdir/etc/fstab
192.168.1.2:/usr/bootdir / nfs rw,soft,lockd 0 0
md /var mfs rw,-s64m,-M 2 0
md /tmp mfs rw,-s64m,-M 2 0
This should be it. boot laptop and run sysinstall.
Note: This not a very secure setup,
