Topic: [PXE] NFS support dropped ?

Hi guys,

Fist of all, thanks you for this nice piece of software which I often use. smile

Has the NFS support for PXE boot been dropped ?

On this document : http://gparted.org/livepxe.php

I've seen that these parameters :

netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.20.254:/pxe/iso/gparted/x86  toram=filesystem.squashfs

are replaced by that one :

fetch=$webserverIP/filesystem.squashfs

Does that mean that NFS support is gone for good ?

Regards.

No, all of them are supported by Debian live-boot:
http://live.debian.net/manpages/4.x/en/ … fig.7.html
If you have any problem using that, please report.
Thanks.

Steven.

Re: [PXE] NFS support dropped ?

Hi,

I use the Grub2 bootloader for its PXE capabilities in both BIOS and UEFI mode, which works wonders.

I've fixed it by removing the following old parameter : 

ip=frommedia

The whole "linux" line of my Gparted x86 and x64 entries now looks like this :

boot=live config components union=overlay username=user noswap noeject nolocales edd=on nomodeset ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" keyboard-layouts="" ocs_live_batch="no" locales="" ip= vga=788 netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.20.254:/pxe/iso/clonezilla/x86 toram=filesystem.squashfs

Thanks you for your link to the documentation, it's been bookmarked smile

Regards.
