Hello,
I've got a machine i'd like to put CentOS 4.4 on. Unfortunately
this machine doesn't have a rom in it, just a floppy and a network
card. I was wondering if i could boot it, then have it pick up what it
needs to start the install off the network and do an unattended
install vi nfs? Or, if that's not possible would it be possible to
boot and load CentOS completely from the network bypassing the hard
disk altogether? I don't need x on this box, in fact it doesn't have a
monitor, most of the work it will do will be via ssh, or unattended
stuff.
if the system will do a PXE boot from the network and you've got a
bootp/dhcp server on the LAN segment you should be able to setup a
jumpstart and load the kernel via tftp, then install the system from
http or nfs. I haven't done this myself in ages, so I can't be of more
assistance
