installing a new machine at NYI
(MarkLinimon note: WIP)
all machines
- set up the BIOS:
- TBA
- figure out the MAC address
- create an entry in
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.confwith the MAC address
machines which will pxeboot
- make sure
rsw02XXhas the the interface's vlan set to portsbuild (e.g.) - make sure
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.confentry for your machine does have entries for bothfixed-addressandoption root-path - boot the machine
- format the drive
- edit drive information into files in (e.g.)
/home/linimon/pxeroot/amd64-9/conf/<ipaddress>/etc/:fstabrc.conf
- reboot the machine
- profit!
machines which will boot from hard drive
- if you have not done so already:
- create a directory for pxebooting something like
/home/linimon/pxeroot/amd64-install-9.0 - copy over
/home/linimon/pxeroot/amd64-install-9.0/doitto it and edit for that directory and release - run it
- make sure
rsw02XXhas the the interface's vlan set to install - make sure
/usr/local/etc/dhcpd.confentry for your machine does not has entries for neitherfixed-addressnoroption root-pathso it will boot on the default install vlan - reboot the machine
- do the install
- profit!
