Booting from PXE

To Boot Kolibrios from network by using PXE, you'll need:

• A PXE compatible network card (you may also use gPXE if you have problems with your default ROM)
• A TFTP server (I use TFTPD32, this program can also serve as your DHCP server)
• A DHCP server wich can set the 'boot' option (I use DnsMaq on my router with [www.dd-wrt.org DD-WRT])
• pxelinux (from the syslinux package)
• KolibriOS virtual floppy image (kolibri.img)

Begin with setting up the DHCP and TFTP server. (I will not explain here in details how) In the root of the TFTP server, place the files "pxelinux.0" and "memdisk" found in the syslinux binaries. In that same folder, you can place your kolibri.img file. Create a subdir "pxelinux.cfg", this will hold the configuration files, wich can be different per computer (mac address or IP address bound, read this)

The configuration file itself may look like this:

default kolibri
label kolibri
 kernel memdisk
 append initrd=kolibri.img

Mine is saved with the MAC as it's filename (01-02-03-04-05-06 format, no file extension!)
