[quote=“Wayne Workman, post: 45964, member: 28155”][CODE]wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-5.00.zip
unzip syslinux-5.00.zip
rm syslinux-5.00.zip
cd linux[/CODE]Now, we must find the flash drive:
[CODE]ls -l /dev/sd*[/CODE][B]It IS NOT sda, sda1, sda2, etc.[/B]
It’s probably sdb if your system only has one hard drive and one flash drive.[CODE]fdisk /dev/sdb
d (enter)
n (enter)
(enter through default values)
a (enter)
w (enter)[/CODE]fdisk exits when done writing.
Make the newly created partition (/dev/sdb1) into a FAT16 partition
[CODE]mkdosfs -IF 16 /dev/sdb1[/CODE]Run syslinux
[CODE]./syslinux -i /dev/sdb1[/CODE]Copy MBR info
[CODE]cd …
cd mbr
dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=mbr.bin of=/dev/sdb[/CODE]Copy /tftpboot to new partition
[CODE]cp -dR /tftpboot /<FlashDriveMountName>[/CODE]Here’s where stuff gets fuzzy for me…
You need to rename a bootfile in /tftpboot to /syslinux.cfg
I assume you just rename the file you want to use… so we will use undionly.kpxe
[CODE]cd /[/CODE]
[CODE]cd <FlashDriveMountName>[/CODE]
[CODE]cp /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe syslinux.cfg[/CODE](some of the) Resources used:

[url]https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/[/url]NOTES: Ended up using syslinux 5.0 because the files that their how-to was refering to just didn’t exist in the latest version and I didn’t know what to do. I took a guess and picked 5 and the referenced files were there.
Beware, I’ve not tested any of this yet, I merely went through the steps myself till I sort of figured it out… maybe. It’s late… going to bed…

Dude, I followed your instructions to the letter, and nothing …
I still appears boot: the display … waiting an order …
Any ideas ??? Other help ???
Thank you very much!
-
I never guaranteed that those instructions would work…
I tested the flash drive that I made and it also did not work. I’ll work on it more this weekend, I’ve got a 3 day weekend; took Monday off.

Disclaimer: I have only tested this on Lenovo laptops.
Go to this wiki entry: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Building_undionly.kpxe[/url]
Follow steps until you get to ‘Build the undionly/ipxe files.’
Build ipxe.usb with this command: [CODE]make bin/ipxe.usb EMBED=ipxescript[/CODE]
Find your usb location (/dev/sdc for me): [CODE]ls -l /dev/sd*[/CODE]
Write ipxe.usb to the usb:[CODE]dd if=bin/ipxe.usb of=/dev/sdc[/CODE]
-
Thank you very much, I also am going to try the weekend !!!
-
Well guys, I was a little lost with this issue … and I wanted to revive …
I need you through a USB flash drive, if possible I ask for a ip and server redirect me where I have my fog.
I hope your answers !!!
Thanks !!!
-
Ok. Let’s start over.
You’re using FOG 1.2.0.
What distribution and version of Linux?
-
Correct, fog 1.2.0 and 7.8.0 debian.
-
And you said you’d try dnsmasq if it was simple ?
-
I have no idea how it works dnmasq … if not bring me problems with what is already armed … there would be problems.
My dhcp, currently assigned ips, and also has a boot loader for dumb terminals for remote desktop working … and it is not feasible to modify this …
Therefore, I need “something” bootee via USB, take my dhcp ip, and be redirected to the server will boot directly fog … if by network normally reach a remote Windows desktop …
I hope is clear, as I am using Google translator, not handle the English.
Apologies and thank you very much for your help !!!
-
Ok.
I’ll work on a USB boot drive tonight, and if/when I get it going, I’ll provide an ISO copy.
I want one for myself anyways.
-
Thank you very much for your help !!!
If it is easier to teach and explain a dnsmask … and not generate problems will miss him … welcome received !!!
The only bear with me … I’m a beginner with all this !!!

Making serious progress with this…
Fighting with syslinux.cfg, trying to get it’s code right.
-
That’s what I have so far… it’s not working.
-
ditched syslinux.
etherboot seems very promising and I had more luck with it, and it’s simpler to use.
-
I got it working with this iso.
ipxescript:
#!ipxe echo -n Please enter tftp server: && read next-server && goto netboot :netstart dhcp && goto netboot || goto netstart :netboot ping -c 1 ${next-server} || goto netstart chain tftp://${next-server}/default.ipxe || shell -
@cml Can you elaborate?
-
Sure.
I followed the instructions in the Building undionly.kpxe wiki entry.
Except for the ipxescript I used the previous script and the command to build was:
make bin/ipxe.iso EMBED=ipxescriptI wrote the iso using dd: “dd if=ipxe.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M” replace sdb with your drive
-
I just saw that went far … now I could explain how official … that is, if you meet the requirements to which I am bound?
I hope ancioso your answers !!! Thank you all for your contributions !!!
