Setting Up MBA in a Server Environment:

Red Hat Linux PXE Server

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution has PXE Server support. It
allows users to remotely perform a complete Linux installation over the
network. The distribution comes with the boot images boot kernel
(vmlinuz) and initial ram disk (initrd), which are located on the Red Hat
disk#1:

/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
/images/pxeboot/initrd.img

Refer to the Red Hat documentation for instructions on how to install PXE
Server on Linux.

However, the Initrd.img file distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, does
not have a Linux network driver for the Broadcom NetXtreme II adapters.
This version requires a driver disk for drivers that are not part of the
standard distribution. You download the driver software files from the
Allied Telesis web site.
