The above is what is contained in my /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. I've got the menu working except for one issue. The Timeout (30 secs) never counts down and thus the menu stands there and does nothing without interaction. I want it to do a local boot if nothing is selected and thus prevent a user error. Can someone help me get this working? What other info would you like me to provide.
That may be it, but I'm having trouble understanding where it actually goes in what I've got so far. I'm guessing in the dhcpd.conf file. Does it matter where and what the settings are?
I'm backing down. looks like the timeout value you have should set the PXE_MENU_PROMPT value, and it seems like that should do the trick. not sure what's the issue. maybe the pxe stack on the client?
Oh well, I was confused. Should there be an actual line where it says PXE_MENU_PROMPT and then some value? If so where should it go? Where can I check the pxe stack? Does it help to mention that these are both VMs?
