      I have mounted the iso from the server through a terminal, can’t give it 777 as it’s read only

      root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso# mount -t iso9660 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso ubuntu -o loop,uid=33,gid=33
      mount: warning: ubuntu seems to be mounted read-only.
      root@fog:/var/www/fog/service/ipxe/iso# ls -l
      total 1467942
      dr-xr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data       2048 Apr 22 22:30 ubuntu
      -rw-r--r-- 1 fog      www-data 1150844928 Jun 24 08:12 ubuntu-15.04-desktop-amd64.iso
      

      The above didn’t work, as in didn’t get as far, the owner needs to be fog.
      I think the part I need to work out how to change is the nfs mount that points to /cdrom in the error message i posted below

        This is what it looks like after vmlinuz.efi and initrd.lz get loaded

          @Pikmin ISO9660 is read-only, you can mount it only on RO.

            I understand that, just don’t get what I’m doing wrong when following the steps in this thread
            EDIT:
            Okay all good now, no mention of having to export the path to the mount to NFS. I am new to this, didn’t know

              Just got this working for me. In case anybody wants the steps:

              First in your /etc/exports add this line:
              /var/www/fog/iso/15.04_64 *(ro,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure)

              Then restart your nfs server. If you’re running Ubuntu it’s sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart

              Next, extract the Ubuntu iso to a direcotry named 15.04_64 in your /var/www/fog/iso directory.

              In your Advanced menu use this:
              :MENU
              menu
              item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
              item ubuntu15.04_64 Boot Ubuntu 15.04
              item return return to previous menu
              :ubuntu15.04_64
              set path /fog/iso/15.04_64
              set nfs_path /var/www/fog/ISO/15.04_64
              kernel http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/vmlinuz.efi || read void
              initrd http://${fog-ip}${path}/casper/initrd.lz || read void
              imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
              boot || read void
              goto start

              Hopefully it works for you too. You don’t have to set the variables. I just did it that way in case I ever have to change where the iso directory lives.

                Thanks aaoyagi, when I realised nfs mount was needed it was easy.
                Do you happen to have a working menu for parted magic? I’ve tried both ways with the iso mounted and exported and just path to the iso
                Throws an error both times.

                UPDATE: looked over it one more time and tried what Tom suggested- removed raw and iso
                chain memdisk ||

                Working fine, thank you kindly

                        @aaoyagi Just made major changes to this WiKi article and one other in order to ingegrate this and others into one single article.

                        https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

                        Please, any future instructions or tutorials about adding an ISO via FOG should be added to the above WiKi article. Thanks for giving an awesome little tutorial @aaoyagi

                          A note that clonezilla works using the method.

                            I know this is an old thread, I’ve read it entirely, and I’ve read the wiki too (this page)but I can’t find the files mentioned here. In my installation I don’t have the folder: /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ in where should be the “default” file, which I assume is where the default menu is. I need help finding the files that i have to edit to be able to include other isos to the boot menu.

                            Sorry for the bad english.
                            Thank you.

                              @hugothebas Are you on 1.2 or on trunk? Trunk doesn’t have pxelinux.cfg anymore since it switched to iPXE rather than PXE because of the added functionality.

                                @Quazz 1.2.0 pxelinux.cfg did not exist, but I brought it back in trunk in the case of a requirement per chainloading or issues working with ipxe files.

                                  @Tom-Elliott Right, got them mixed up, my bad. 🙂

                                  As to answer his question then, you need to add it in the advanced menu in 1.2 using iPXE formatting.
