new to kickstart, show me where to start

Hello,

I am new to kickstarting and PXE, and would like to figure out where I am, and where I have gone wrong, and how to "get there from here" .. pointers to any *recent* docs are appreciated too :) searches on google seem to turn up Index of (blah) (the images directory) .. so its not much help.

I want to be able to kickstart RH9 linux boxes in much the same way one would "jumpstart" a Sun box. At this point, I have done..

cp images/pxeboot/vmlinuz  /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.1
cp images/pxeboot/initrd.img /tftpboot/X86PC/UNDI/linux-install/linux.2

chkconfig tftp on
chkconfig pxe on

service xinetd reload
service pxe start

*** CANNOT RUN MY OWN DHCP SERVER ON THIS NETWORK


I want to have it jumpstart "automatically" using my ks.cfg (that I created with redhat-config-kickstart) .. but I don't know what "next-server" and "filename" translate to on a "Sun" DHCP server (currently controlling the network). But... I would be extremely happy if I could even get an "interactive" nfs install running...

I am hitting "F12" during the bootup of a Sun LX50, and it looks like it tries to boot, it loads the kernel, then it loads the initrd, but then it just sits there... dumblike... hehe I dont know what to do next... Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Tommy McNeely
