Boot menu

[afuente26]

Hello,

since a lot of hours searching I was not able to configure the boot menu.

One of the tutorial I found said, that I have to change (add) the appropiate label in the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default

The tftpboot directory exists (all the vesamenu) but not the pxelinux.cfg.

After creating the default file, I guessed I has to work, but it didn´t. I don´t know where to search anymore, after reading a lot of pages of pxe-booting.

Can somebody say me the files I have to modify?

Thanks
Angel

Thanks. With the advanced boot configuration it works fine.

If somebody doesn´t want to search, here is my solution:

1. open /var/www and create a directory called (for example) isos
2. put your isos into it
3. go to advanced options an add your personal menu, for example

:MENU
menu
item --gap – ---------- My boot menu --------------
item Hirens Hirens Boot CD
item return go back
choose --default return --timeout 10000 target && goto ${target}

:Hirens
initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/isos/hirens.iso[/url]
chain memdisk iso raw ||
goto MENU

:return
chain [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}[/url] ||
prompt
goto MENU

autoboot

Ah ok.

The menu directly can be edited in a svn but tata is correct that advanced menu will also work

I think the boot menu can be modified via the web interface on releases after 1.2.0 only.

If you want that feature, you’d need to update to the trunk developmental releases.
