netdevice=interface
This entry defines the client's network interface that must be used for the
network installation. It is only necessary if the client is equipped with several
network cards and must be adapted accordingly. In case of a single network
card, this entry can be omitted.
install=nfs://ip_instserver/path_instsource/CD1
This entry defines the NFS server and the installation source for the client
installation. Replace ip_instserver with the actual IP address of your
installation server. path_instsource should be replaced with the actual
path to the installation sources. HTTP, FTP, or SMB sources are addressed
in a similar manner, except for the protocol prefix, which should read http,
ftp, or smb.
IMPORTANT
If you need to pass other boot options to the installation routines,
such as SSH or VNC boot parameters, append them to the install
entry. An overview of parameters and some examples are given in
Section 4.4, "Booting the Target System for Installation" (page 76).
An example /srv/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default file follows.
Adjust the protocol prefix for the installation source to match your network setup
and specify your preferred method of connecting to the installer by adding the
vnc and vncpassword or the usessh and sshpassword options to the
install entry. The lines separated by \ must be entered as one continuous
line without a line break and without the \.
