Summary

TFTPd (tftpd-hpa) is running and default a pxelinux based menu is served. At this point it is possible to:

• Run memtest
• Run debian and ubuntu installers
• Run partedmagic, a nice diskrescue oriented live linux desktop

Config

• Dhcpd (on NURDServices points to TFTPd (also on NURDServices) (using next-server option)
• Files are served from /tftpboot on NURDServices

Using HARKboot

• Connect your x86 PC/laptop using UTP (wifi won't work)
• Make sure "boot from LAN" is selected in your computer's BIOS
• Boot up your machine

You should end up with something like this:

Todo

• DOS image
• Netbootstuff on the internet
• Use iPXE or gPXE instead of pxelinux in order to make conditional stuff (serve sparc stuff for sun, etc)
