These are my basic steps: 1. create a boot floppy using bootnet.img on 7.2 CD 2. create sysconfi.cfg file. pertinent lines are: ========== kernel vmlinuz append ks=nfs:<nfs ip address>:/redhat/7.2/ks/<config file> initrd=initrd.img text network Note the magic words "text" and "network". Don't ask. ========== 3. create a config file on the NFS server. pertinent lines in <config file> on the NFS server: ========== network --bootproto static --ip <client ip address> --netmask <netmask> --gateway <gateway ip address> --na meserver <dns ip address> --hostname <fqdn> nfs --server <nfs ip address> --dir /redhat/7.2 ========== Boom!
