The following sections provide a basic outline of the procedures for network boot or

Preparing for Network Boot
Network booting with Wake on LAN, PXE, and TFTP is discussed in Section 4.1.3,
"Remote Installation via VNC—PXE Boot and Wake on LAN" (page 51). To make
the setup introduced there work for autoinstallation, modify the featured PXE Linux
configuration file (/srv/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/default) to contain the
autoyast parameter pointing to the location of the AutoYaST profile. An example
entry for a standard installation looks like this:
default linux
# default label linux
kernel linux append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 insmod=e100 \
install=http://192.168.0.22/install/suse-enterprise/

default linux
# default label linux
kernel linux append initrd=initrd ramdisk_size=65536 insmod=e100 \
install=http://192.168.0.22/install/suse-enterprise/ \
autoyast=nfs://192.168.0.23/profiles/autoinst.xml
