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
