[ipxe-devel] ipxe question for booting Gentoo cd

[Oliver Rath]

Hi ??? ??,

normally there are special preparations necessary for booting
live-cd-media. I.e. for ubuntu there exist packages especially for doing
this an the ubuntu-initramfs is prepared for doing this with nfs and
cifs media.

For booting gentoo-live-cd, you need to set up a nfs-server for
exporting the lived-cd-image and an apropriate configuration for
ipxe-boot, so that the kernel finds the image after booting at the right
place.

Google helps here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-820003-start-0.html
and here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/altinstall.xml#doc_chap4

If this is not what you want, feel free to ask again with more specific
questions :-)

Regards,
Oliver
