Al Sparks :
I have a kickstart file that basically runs the following:
install nfs --server=nfserver.blah.local
--dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3
#include
%some_file.cfg
I want to be able to access or "include" a file on the nfs share not
the local CDROM I've got this on. How do I do that?
<snip #include syntax typo>
Also, my network configuration includes a local DNS, so I've been able to
reach the NFS server by name.
? strange: I've already test it (mainly under centos3) and an IP address was
required for the NFS server; but I was booting via network (PXE), not from
cdrom.
But it occurs to me that I need to place
that information on the ks.cfg file on the cdrom portion, not the
"some_file.cfg" located on the nfs share.
your configuration is unusual: you use the cdrom to boot, right ?
then you use an NFS server for the media location instead of the cdrom, right ?
So why in this case use the cdrom as storage for your include ks file ? it
will be really easier to use an NFS resource to store this additional file.
Anyway, in this configuration, I guess the cdrom won't be mounted
automatically, you have to do it in the main .ks file like this:
-----------------
install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3
%include /media/cdrom/anotherfile.ks
# the "pre"/"post" directives must be at the end of the .ks file
%pre
mount /media/cdrom
------------------
I'm not shure this will work: does the install system has an entry in its
/etc/fstab for "/media/cdrom" ?
It it's not the case, you will have to mount the cdrom "by hand", that means
its device is subject to change depending on the hardware configuration of
your machine: is it "hda", "hdb", "hdc" ... ?
You should try within the shell of console #2.
The "pre" section should then look like:
-----
%pre
mount /dev/hda2 /media/cdrom
-----
install nfs --server=1.2.3.4 --dir=/vol/updts/staging/CentOS_4.3
%include /path/to/file
Once the installation system is running, the mount point for the used
NFS share by directive "install" is /mnt/source .
The really great info you gave me is the mount point the nfs command
uses.
in fact, /mnt/source is the mount point of the source media (NFS, cdrom,
whatever).
Once booted, goto onto console #2 with Ctl-Alt-F2 and use "mount" to see it.
