Re: strategies for changing boot order

Alan,

We've been using a motherboard which has two on board NICs. We set the secondary port for PXE enabled in the BIOS, and have it at the top of the BIOS boot list. This works out pretty well for us.

If you need me to go into further details about this strategy, please let me know.

        Sincerely,

Hi,

I know that some of this is going to be fairly hardware specific, but what strategies do folks use for flipping boot order back to the primary ide/scsi system disk after doing a pxeboot install ?

The way I do it right now is :

 o Initially enable pxeboot in the bios (if not set)
 o Reboot box, go back into bios, set boot order to NIC pxeboot before HDD
 o Unattended kickstart install
o Catch install after final reboot and jump into bios to reset boot order.

Obviously I'd like to do away with the last step to make it truly unattended after the setup phase.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Al
