Installing and Configuring the neopxe Boot
Server Daemon
Complete the following steps on your DHCP server.
Note – The neopxe server is designed for use with a DHCP server that is running
on the same system.
1. Type the following commands to install the neopxe boot server daemon on your
system that is your DHCP server:
# cd /tmp/rhel3_64-pxefiles/neopxe-0.2.0/
# ./configure
# make
# make install
2. Append the path /usr/local/sbin/neopxe to the rc.local file by typing the
following command, making sure to use two greater-than signs:
# echo " /usr/local/sbin/neopxe " >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
3. Copy the PXE Linux image to the /home/pxeboot directory by typing the
following commands:
# mkdir /home/pxeboot
# cp /tmp/rhel3_64-pxefiles/pxelinux.0 /home/pxeboot
4. Configure the PXE Linux image by typing the following commands:
# mkdir /home/pxeboot/pxelinux.cfg/
# touch /home/pxeboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
5. Edit the /usr/local/etc/neopxe.conf configuration file, which is read by
neopxe at startup.
■
If the neopxe.conf file is not at the location shown above, you can copy it from
/tmp/rhel3_64-pxefiles/neopxe-0.2.0/ if you downloaded the files as
shown in “Copying Files From the Documentation and Support Files CD” on
page 43.
■
A valid configuration file must have entries for each of the following lines,
including at least one service line.
ip_addr= n.n.n.n
prompt= boot-prompt-string
prompt_timeout= timeout
service= service-number,boot-server,boot-file,label
