I'm trying to setup cobbler to PXE boot Hiren's boot CD. I realize
this is more a tftp question than cobbler... but this is the type
of audience that has probably done it for their own environments.
I was able to manually modify pxelinux.cfg by following, e.g.
http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/integrating-iso-hirens-boot-cd-into-fog.219/
i.e. :
LABEL hiren-15.2
kernel /memdisk
append iso initrd=/images/hiren.15.2.iso raw
MENU LABEL hiren-15.2
Booting from them menu item gets me (after a long time loading the
~600 MB hiren ISO into memory!) to the normal Hiren boot screen, but
when I attempt to start something like Partition Magic, it fails to
boot after a couple seconds with the error:
ERROR: could not insert 'phram': Input/output error
mount: special device /dev/mtdblock0 does not exist
I've tried other configurations, e.g. the one here:
http://www.techtrunch.com/linux/boot-hiren-boot-cd-network
But that one didn't work at all (selecting the item in the menu just
immediately went back to the PXE menu)
Any tips appreciated!
