I need to install raw OS images to the first drive in some X86 hardware.
All of the machines (a dev box and a 2U server) can pxeboot.
What I need is a pxeboot program that can boot the machine and just raw
write an image file of my choice to a drive of my choice.
Does anyone know how to do that?
I've tried writing my own pxeboot scripts, but I can't get anything to
work.
Any ideas appreciated.
I'm going to try a few things again, but I'm pressed for time and was
hoping to find a "plug in the values for your image here and boot it."
kind of option.
