MultiBoot over network for installations
Grettings all,
So heres the run down on what I am tring to do...We have to install multiple different opperating systems and boot different live cd's for testing on a daily basis. My hope is to put all of these install boot CD and Live CD's on a TFTP server and allow booting over the network. In the Final Version I would hope to have this happen 1. boot up machine on network 2. machine gets IP and is displayed with a boot menu (grub, Lisa, similar) 3. user choose OS (BART, GHOST, RHEL5, RHEL4) 4. apprpriate CD is mounted and boots up I am not sure if this is all possible. And I dought all my dreams here can come true. Im really just looking for some guidance on what is possible and where I can get some help in building this environment. Thanks |
Never tried any of these, but a quick google returned:

Let me clarify a little bit...I would love for this to be diskless, ive done a multiboot DVD before and I might resort back to that...i just thought it would be convienient to have it be network served so that you don't have to worry about a CD/DVD. I just need to know how I can automatically mount a CD/DVD iso to a remove machine during boot. Asd in I want the remote client machine to be able to boot off an iso that is stored on the server.
