      Setting up the foundation for installation

      Hopefully this setup will be pretty clean and easy (just hoping…)

      In this tutorial, I’ve personally setup each distribution and booted it into a virtual machine. I didn’t run the installer to completion, but I did ensure the installer was running as far as I took the install (unless otherwise noted).

      These setups were only tested with a bios (legacy mode) target computer. They WILL NOT work with uefi systems. For uefi based systems they have their own kernel requirements and options. The intent of this tutorial was to show its possible to boot your installation media via pxe booting.

      First we need to setup the storage locations for our boot images. The plan is to put the installation media on the /images nfs share and the boot kernel and initfs in the tftp boot directory.

      mkdir /images/os
      mkdir /tftpboot/os
      mkdir /mnt/loop
      

      For the foundation setup that should do it. On to the OS specific configuration…

        Debian 11.3 Server

        1. First we’ll create the required directories:
        mkdir -p /images/os/debian/Server11.3
        mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/debian/Server11.3
        
        1. Now we’ll mount the Debian Server 11.3 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
        mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/debian-11.3.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt/loop
        
        cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/debian/Server11.3
        umount /mnt/loop
        
        1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive.
        wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
        tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz
        cp ./debian-installer/amd64/linux /tftpboot/os/debian/Server11.3
        cp ./debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /tftpboot/os/debian/Server11.3
        
        1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
        2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
          Set the following fields
          Menu Item: os.Debian.Server.11.3
          Description: Debian Server 11.3
          Parameters:
          kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/debian/Server11.3/linux
          initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/debian/Server11.3/initrd.gz
          imgargs linux initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/debian/Server11.3/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw
          boot || goto MENU
          Menu Show with: All Hosts
        3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Debian Server 11.3 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

          ESXi 7.0u2

          ***This menu entry is still under development. It has not been tested in a production environment***

          NOTE: This guidance only supports network booting of the uefi installer for ESXi.

          1. First we’ll create the required directories:
          mkdir -p /images/os/esxi/7.0u2
          
          1. Now we’ll mount the ESXi installer iso over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
          mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0U2a-17867351.x86_64.iso /mnt/loop
          
          cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/esxi/7.0u2
          umount /mnt/loop
          
          1. Edit the boot configuration file to use NFS to access all of ESXi’s files.
          # remove forward slashes from the config file
          sed -i 's/\///g' /images/os/esxi/7.0u2/efi/boot/boot.cfg
          

          Now we need to edit the/images/os/esxi/7.0u2/efi/boot/boot.cfg file to insert or modify the prefix parameter. Insert/modify the following line just below the title parameter. Also, be sure to replace {fog_server_ip} (exactly including the curly braces) with the actual IP address of your fog server. Your prefix line should look similar to this:

          prefix=nfs://192.168.1.20:/images/os/esxi/7.0u2
          
          1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
          2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
            Set the following fields
            Menu Item: os.esxi7.0u2
            Description: ESXi 7.0u2 Installer
            Parameters:
            kernel nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/esxi/7.0u2/efi/boot/bootx64.efi -c nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/esxi/7.0u2/efi/boot/boot.cfg
            boot || goto MENU
            Menu Show with: All Hosts
          3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick ESXi 7.0u2 Installer from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

            Platform Specific Bootable ISO, PER620

            There is a bug in the kernel parameters. I'm suspecting the root= value is incorrect. I'm getting an error when the rpms are trying to update

            1. First we’ll create the required directories:
            mkdir -p /images/os/dell/pfs620
            mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/dell/pfs620
            
            1. Now we’ll mount the Dell Bootable ISO over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
            mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/PER620_BOOTABLE_21.04.00.184.iso /mnt/loop
            
            cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/dell/pfs620
            umount /mnt/loop
            
            1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory.
            cp /images/os/dell/pfs620/isolinux/SA.1 /tftpboot/os/dell/pfs620
            cp /images/os/dell/pfs620/isolinux/SA.2 /tftpboot/os/dell/pfs620
            
            
            1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.

              Bitdefender Rescue CD 31.01.2011

              1. First we’ll create the required directory:
              mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/bitdefender
              
              1. Now we’ll mount the Bitdefender Rescue CD installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the required files to the directory we built above. Note: when I downloaded the iso from the bitdefender web site the file came down as file with no extension. I tacked on .iso then I was able to mount it with my linux mint desktop. I rename the entire file name to BitdefenderRescue.iso for this tutorial.
              mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/BitdefenderRescue.iso /mnt/loop
              
              cp -R /mnt/loop/casper/vmlinuz /images/os/bitdefender
              cp -R /mnt/loop/casper/initrd.gz /images/os/bitdefender
              umount /mnt/loop
              
              1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
              2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                Set the following fields
                Menu Item: os.BitdefenderRescue
                Description: BitdefenderRescue v31.01.2011
                Parameters:
                kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/bitdefender/vmlinuz
                initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/bitdefender/initrd.gz
                imgargs vmlinuz initrd=initrd.gz file=file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper splash vga=791 lang=us
                boot || goto MENU
                Menu Show with: All Hosts
              3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick BitdefenderRescue v31.01.2011 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

              I'm going to suspect this will not work because of the reference of the ubuntu.seed file. The image args are saying to look on the cdrom for that file, but since we are pxe booting from memory it won't find that file on the dvd/cvd. I'm sure it can be worked out. It will just take some debugging

                Windows 10 BIOS/UEFI 2021 edition
                17-Mar-21 this post is currently being edited, so its not complete

                1. First we’ll create the required directories. In this tutorial we will use a windows server/workstation to host the installer files. This is the easiest solution, but if your goal is to only use the FOG server follow the instructions at the end of this thread for SAMBA install instructions. On your file server copy the content of the Windows installation DVD to a folder on your file server. Be sure to set the permission so that everyone has read only access to that directory. Now share that directory. For this tutorial the Windows file server will be called \fileserv01 with the share name of \win10$

                2. In this next step you will need a valid user ID. It can be a domain level or machine level. Create this user id and password. For this tutorial we will create a domain account called consento\user01

                3. Beyond this point you will need a Windows 10 1909 (or later) workstation. You also need to be aware what version of windows 10 you intend to deploy. You need to download the proper version of Windows ADK for the version of Windows 10 you will execute these instructions against.

                4. Download the appropriate ADK for the version of Win10 you have from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/windows-assessment-deployment-kit You will need both downloads “Windows ADK for Windows 10” and “Windows PE add-on for the ADK”.

                5. Launch the ADK installer. You will be presented with about 15 different modules to install. You only “need” the Deployment Tools feature from the “Windows ADK for Windows 10”. Now run the “Windows PE add-on for the ADK” installer . From this installer you will need (the only option) Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE).

                6. It might take as long as 20 minutes to install both packages depending on your network connection and target computer.

                7. While this step is not necessary it is also a bit of an assurance that WinPE10 will have a good install of basic drivers needed to boot current hardware.

                8. Download the WinPE10 drivers from the Dell Enterprise site here: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000180533/dell-command-deploy-driver-packs As always download the latest WinPE Cab pack. At the time of this writing it was A23.

                9. I realize that you may not be using a Dell for your imaging, don’t worry these drivers only cover network and disk subsystems.

                10. Extract the winpe folder from the cab file and copy it in the winpe folder in the root of C drive (c:\winpe).

                11. After the install launch the ADK environment from Start Button->Windows Kits->Windows ADK->Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment Make sure you run this command window as Administrator. FYI: you’ll need admin rights to use DISM.

                12. In the Deployment and Imaging Tools Environment command window you just opened you will need to execute the following commands.

                13. For the rest of the instructions we’ll just go copy and paste. Its fast and quick.

                cd c:\
                copype amd64 C:\WinPE_amd64
                
                Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"C:\WinPE_amd64\media\sources\boot.wim" /index:1 /MountDir:"C:\WinPE_amd64\mount"
                
                Dism /Add-Driver /Image:"C:\WinPE_amd64\mount" /Driver:"c:\winpe\x64" /Recurse /ForceUnsigned
                
                1. Now we need to edit the WinPE startup file to have it mount our windows (samba) network share.
                notepad C:\WinPE_amd64\mount\Windows\System32\Startnet.cmd
                 @echo off
                  echo Setting up WinPE
                  wpeinit
                
                  REM Set power configuration to Performance
                  powercfg /s 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c
                
                  echo Connecting to the remote share
                  net use z: \\<server_name>\<share_name> /user:<domain\uid> <pass>
                  z:
                  setup.exe
                

                I stopped here editing this document
                15. Now that we have the settings the way we need them. Lets close the wim file and create our ISO.

                Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:"C:\WinPE_amd64\mount" /commit
                
                MakeWinPEMedia /ISO C:\WinPE_amd64 C:\WinPE_amd64\WinPE_amd64.iso
                
                1. Now move the C:\WinPE_amd64\WinPE_amd64.iso file to the FOG server in the /images/os/mswindows/7Pro-x64 directory.

                2. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.

                3. NOTE: This instruction is for legacy bios only. If you need to boot both uefi and bios installs follow the WinPE10 section above. The issue is that memdisk utility is not supported in uefi mode, so another method is required. For bios mode memdisk IS the quickest method to boot a small iso image. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10944/using-fog-to-pxe-boot-into-your-favorite-installer-images/10
                  In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                  Set the following fields
                  Menu Item: os.Win7Pro-x64
                  Description: Windows 7 Pro x64 OEM
                  Parameters:
                  initrd nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/mswindows/7Pro-x64/WinPE_amd64.iso
                  chain memdisk iso raw
                  boot || goto MENU
                  Menu Show with: All Hosts

                4. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Windows 7 Pro x64 OEM from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

                For this process to function you must also setup SAMBA on your fog server below.

                    Debian 10.7 Standard

                    1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                    mkdir -p /images/os/debian/Server10.7
                    mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/debian/Server10.7
                    
                    1. Now we’ll mount the Debian Server 10.7 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                    mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/debian-10.7.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso /mnt/loop
                    
                    cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/debian/Server10.7
                    umount /mnt/loop
                    
                    1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive.
                    wget https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
                    tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz
                    cp ./debian-installer/amd64/linux /tftpboot/os/debian/Server10.7
                    cp ./debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /tftpboot/os/debian/Server10.7
                    
                    1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
                    2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                      Set the following fields
                      Menu Item: os.Debian.Server.10.7
                      Description: Debian Server 10.7

                      boot || goto MENU
                      Menu Show with: All Hosts
                    3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Debian Server 10.7 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

                      Debian 10.7 Standard -Live

                      1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                      mkdir -p /images/os/debian/10.7L
                      mkdir -p /tftpboot/debian/10.7L
                      
                      # for FOG Server with Redhat based OS
                      mkdir -p /var/www/html/os/debian/10.7L
                      # for FOG Server with Debian based OS
                      mkdir -p /var/www/os/debian/10.7L
                      
                      1. Now we’ll mount the Debian live DVD over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                        I need to explain something here. The iso below is the "standard" version which is the debian console version. If you want to live boot into the debian XWindows interface you will need to download the ISO that contains your desired XWindows manager like Mate, XFCE, KDE, Gnome, etc The instructions are the same for all ISO, just the size if the initrd and squashfs will change
                      mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/debian-live-10.7.0-amd64-standard.iso /mnt/loop
                      
                      cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/debian/10.7L
                      umount /mnt/loop
                      
                      1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory.
                      cp /images/os/debian/10.7L/live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-13-amd64 /tftpboot/debian/10.7L/vmlinuz
                      cp /images/os/debian/10.7L/live/initrd.img-4.19.0-13-amd64 /tftpboot/debian/10.7L/initrd
                      
                      # for FOG Server with RedHat based OS
                      cp /images/os/debian/10.7L/live/filesystem.squashfs /var/www/html/os/debian/10.7L
                      # for FOG Server with Debian based OS
                      cp /images/os/debian/10.7L/live/filesystem.squashfs /var/www/os/debian/10.7L

                        Hiren’s BootCD PE x64 (v1.0.1)

                        Configuration currently works for UEFI only. It appears the wim file is missing bootmgr.exe for the BIOS booting systems

                        Be aware that your target computer will need at least 4GB of ram to deploy this image. The boot.wim file is 1.3GB in size. So you need 1.3GB of RAM just for the disk image, and then additional RAM to run the OS once its booted

                        1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                        mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                        
                        1. Now we’ll mount the WinPE iso over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                        mount -o loop /{full path where you have the iso stored}/HBCD_PE_x64.iso /mnt/loop
                        
                        cp /mnt/loop/BOOTMGR /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                        cp /mnt/loop/boot/bcd /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                        cp /mnt/loop/boot/boot.sdi /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                        cp /mnt/loop/sources/boot.wim /tftpboot/os/Hiren101
                        umount /mnt/loop
                        
                        1. Download and install the latest wimboot kernel and extract it from the zip file. 10-Aug-21: There has been changes to the Hiren's wim file since this tutorial was created. To get Hiren's to properly boot you need to use winboot version **2.7.3** or later found here: https://github.com/ipxe/wimboot/blob/master/wimboot
                          The issue was discussed in this post: https://forums.fogproject.org/post/144293

                        unzip wimboot-latest.zip
                        
                        1. Copy the wimboot file from the archive directory to root of the os directory (we’ll need this for every windows boot media, so we’ll place it in a common spot).
                        cp ./wimboot-2.6.0-signed/wimboot /tftpboot/os

                            Acronis 2018 (WinPE)

                            1. First we’ll create the required directories:

                            mount -o loop /{full path where you have the iso stored}/acronis2018pe.iso /mnt/loop
                            
                            cp /mnt/loop/boot/BCD /tftpboot/os/acronis18/
                            cp /mnt/loop/boot/boot.sdi /tftpboot/os/acronis18/
                            cp /mnt/loop/sources/boot.wim /tftpboot/os/acronis18/
                            umount /mnt/loop
                            
                            1. Download and install the latest wimboot kernel and extract it from the zip file.
                            cd /tmp
                            wget http://git.ipxe.org/releases/wimboot/wimboot-latest.zip
                            unzip wimboot-latest.zip
                            
                            1. Copy the wimboot file from the archive directory to root of the /tftpboot directory (we’ll need this for every windows boot media, so we’ll place it in a common spot).

                            1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this Acronis 2018 WinPE Image.
                            2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                              Set the following fields
                              Menu Item: os.Acronis2018PE

                            Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

                              1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                              mkdir -p /images/os/debian/10.5L
                              mkdir -p /tftpboot/debian/10.5L
                              
                              # for FOG Server with RedHat based OS
                              mkdir -p /var/www/html/os/debian/10.5L
                              # for FOG Server with Debian based OS
                              mkdir -p /var/www/os/debian/10.5L
                              
                              1. Now we’ll mount the Debian live DVD over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                              mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/debian-live-10.5.0-amd64-standard.iso /mnt/loop
                              
                              cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/debian/10.5L
                              umount /mnt/loop
                              
                              1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory.
                              cp /images/os/debian/10.5L/live/vmlinuz-4.19.0-10-amd64 /tftpboot/debian/10.5L/vmlinuz
                              cp /images/os/debian/10.5L/live/initrd.img-4.19.0-10-amd64 /tftpboot/debian/10.5L/initrd
                              
                              # for FOG Server with RedHat based OS
                              cp /images/os/debian/10.5L/live/filesystem.squashfs /var/www/html/os/debian/10.5L
                              # for FOG Server with Debian based OS
                              cp /images/os/debian/10.5L/live/filesystem.squashfs /var/www/os/debian/10.5L
                              
                              1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
                              2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                                Set the following fields
                                Menu Item: os.Debian.10.5L

                              3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Debian 10.5 Live from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

                                This is solution still under investigation. It appears that Canonical has changed how their installer works and for me, its a bit strange since now they require the entire live iso to run from memory. That means transferring the 2.1GB iso image over the network to the network computer before the kernel boots. This kind of (imo) limits the target hardware to have at least 4GB of ram (2GB for the iso, 1GB for the OS and then 1GB for free RAM, said from an uneducated guess POV). To me this change seems a bit tone deaf to the Ubuntu user community only supplying the iso image in live boot mode.

                                Reference threads:

                                  Ubuntu 1910 Server

                                  WARNING: The installer files needed for 19.10 has been removed from the download site. Noticed 25-Jan-2021. This tutorial is for reference only.

                                  1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                                  mkdir -p /images/os/ubuntu/Server19.10
                                  mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Server19.10
                                  
                                  1. Now we’ll mount the Ubuntu Server 19.10 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                                  mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/ubuntu-19.10-live-server-amd64.iso /mnt/loop

                                  1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive.
                                  wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
                                  tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz
                                  cp ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Server19.10
                                  cp ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Server19.10
                                  
                                  1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
                                  2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry

                                    Veeam Agent Rescue DVD

                                    1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                                    mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/veeam
                                    
                                    1. Now we’ll mount the Veeam Recovery ISO over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                                    mount -o loop /{full path where you have the iso stored}/ VeeamRecoveryMedia.iso /mnt/loop

                                    1. Download and install the latest wimboot kernel and extract it from the zip file.

                                    1. Copy the wimboot file from the archive directory to root of the /tftpboot directory (we’ll need this for every windows boot media, so we’ll place it in a common spot).
                                    cp ./wimboot-2.6.0-signed/wimboot /tftpboot
                                    
                                    1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this Veeam Recover Image.
                                    2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                                      Set the following fields
                                      Menu Item: os.VeeamRecovery
                                      Description: Veeam Agent 4
                                      Parameters:
                                      set tftp-path tftp://${fog-ip}
                                      set pe-path ${tftp-path}/os/veeam

                                    3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Veeam Agent 4 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

                                    Bonus round NOTE: the code below doesn't work at the moment, I'm getting an HTTP access denied message. The info is right, there is just something with apache at the moment that is stopping access to these individual files
                                    The above method shows how to load the Veeam Recover image over tftp. The following instructions show how to do the same thing over the faster http protocol.

                                    1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                                    mkdir -p /var/www/html/os/veeam
                                    
                                    1. Now we’ll mount the Veeam Recovery ISO over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                                    mount -o loop /{full path where you have the iso stored}/ VeeamRecoveryMedia.iso /mnt/loop
                                    
                                    cp /mnt/loop/boot/BCD /var/www/html/os/veeam
                                    cp /mnt/loop/boot/boot.sdi /var/www/html/os/veeam
                                    cp /mnt/loop/sources/boot.wim /var/www/html/os/veeam
                                    umount /mnt/loop
                                    
                                    1. Download and install the latest wimboot kernel and extract it from the zip file.

                                      Ubuntu 1910 Desktop

                                      1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                                      mkdir -p /images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10
                                      mkdir -p /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10
                                      
                                      1. Now we’ll mount the Ubuntu 19.10 installer over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                                      mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/ubuntu-19.10-desktop-amd64.iso /mnt/loop
                                      
                                      cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10
                                      umount /mnt/loop
                                      
                                      1. Finally we’ll copy the pxe boot kernel and intfs to the tftpboot directory. We’ll need to download the netboot version from here: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz This version of bzlinuz.efi and initrd.lz support booting over an NFS share instead of the local DVD Drive.
                                      wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/eoan/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
                                      tar -zxf netboot.tar.gz
                                      cp ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10
                                      cp ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz /tftpboot/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10
                                      
                                      1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
                                      2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                                        Set the following fields
                                        Menu Item: os.Ubuntu.Desktop.19.10
                                        Description: Ubuntu Desktop 19.10
                                        Parameters:

                                        initrd tftp://${fog-ip}/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/initrd.gz
                                        imgargs linux root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:/images/os/ubuntu/Desk19.10/ locale=en_US.UTF-8 keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=us quiet splash ip=dhcp rw
                                        boot || goto MENU
                                        Menu Show with: All Hosts
                                      3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick Ubuntu Desktop 19.10 from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

                                        ESXi 6.7u2

                                        NOTE: This guidance only supports network booting of the uefi installer for ESXi. The reason for this is the fog project does not ship iPXE kernels that support the comboot function. If you want to boot your ESXi server in legacy mode you will need to compile your own specific version of undionly.kpxe to add in the IMG_COMBOOT.

                                        1. First we’ll create the required directories:
                                        mkdir -p /images/os/esxi/6.7u2
                                        
                                        1. Now we’ll mount the ESXi installer iso over the loop directory. Then we’ll copy the contents of the DVD to the directory we built above.
                                        mount -o loop -t iso9660 /{full path where you have the iso stored}/VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.7.0.update02-13006603.x86_64.iso /mnt/loop
                                        
                                        cp -R /mnt/loop/* /images/os/esxi/6.7u2
                                        umount /mnt/loop
                                        
                                        1. Edit the boot configuration file to use NFS to access all of ESXi’s files.
                                        # remove forward slashes from the config file
                                        sed -i 's/\///g' /images/os/esxi/6.7u2/efi/boot/boot.cfg
                                        

                                        Now we need to edit the/images/os/esxi/6.7u2/efi/boot/boot.cfg file to insert or modify the prefix parameter. Insert/modify the following line just below the title parameter. Also, be sure to replace {fog_server_ip} (exactly including the curly braces) with the actual IP address of your fog server. Your prefix line should look similar to this:

                                        prefix=nfs://192.168.1.20:/images/os/esxi/6.7u2
                                        
                                        1. The last bit of magic we need to do is setup a new FOG iPXE boot menu entry for this OS.
                                        2. In the fog WebGUI go to FOG Configuration->iPXE New Menu Entry
                                          Set the following fields
                                          Menu Item: os.esxi67u2
                                          Description: ESXi 6.7u2 Installer
                                          Parameters:
                                          kernel nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/esxi/6.7u2/efi/boot/bootx64.efi -c nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/esxi/6.7u2/efi/boot/boot.cfg
                                          boot || goto MENU
                                          Menu Show with: All Hosts
                                        3. That’s it, just pxe boot your target system and pick ESXi 6.7u2 Installer from the FOG iPXE boot menu.

                                        If for some reason you can not use NFS to pxe boot into the ESXi installer you can use tftp or http. If you want to use tftp extract the ESXi install files to /tftpboot/os/esxi/6.7u2. Then update the nfs:// protocols to tftp:// Be sure to remove the ':/images' after the host name or you will have errors. (i.e. kernel nfs://${fog-ip}:/images/os/esxi would become kernel tftp://${fog-ip}/os/esxi)

                                            1. First we’ll create the required directories:
