If you can't find the docs for the motherboard...good luck.
...who know WHAT it might be looking for?
I used to have a mobo that needed a proprietary disk for recover in case it messed up. I guarded that disk like it were gold because the mfgr. wasn't around anymore.
That mobo is history now...and I finally found another reason for that bright 720K yellow disk.
the system I'm using is fedora rh 9 amd 750 duran, I've tried to use the net booting service but don't no how to config it ,, I get to the network intallation diskless and enviroment and go to config then click add and it ask for diskless identifier and it ask for name and describtion so I'm assuming rhel-9-as don't know if this is correct stuff , is there a command to get the correct name (rhel-9-as
then it ask for server name and directory really have a name for a server I have been inputting the ip address 192.168.0.2, and for directory I've tried tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg but permissions were denied can anyone lead me on
the motherboard is a intel gb 850 I've tried to go into setup but nothing happening, meaning the setup for the boot agent it says f1 f2 but nothing happens maybe I will look into more about the agent but it's trying to find the pxelinux.cfg I guess but I don't know how to config the diskless boot config so until then I'll remain stuck
