How to load backup from pxeboot?
peedee:
Because its my first post, hi every one.
I managed to setup an pxe boot server and load tinycore, i'm able to save to the nfs drive/map and every thing seems oke to me. but when i reboot no settings are loaded?
my boot config:
LABEL 2
kernel /images/tiny/bzImage
append initrd=/images/tiny/tinycore.gz nfsmount=192.168.1.8:/home/tftpboot/images/tiny
Do i miss something???
b.t.w. i'm using the latest tinycore an linuxpxe.0

Make sure you are running V3.3rc2 or heed the note in the netboot wiki about the path names.

Thanks for the reply,
With V3.3rc2 i'm able to backup, but i can't download packages. (maybe there is no repo for the release candidate??)
But i noticed that V3.3rc2 tries to get an ip address from the dhcp3-server my tftp-server is running on, wile 3.2 does not, it probably gets it's ip from the dhcp server on my isp-router and connects.
I tried static ip configuration but this also didn't work with 3.3rc2 (did not tried 3.2)
I also changed the ip-range in the dhcp3-config, because otherwise the nfs server is rejecting the mount request.
The server gives 192.168.1.11, tiny-core takes 192.168.1.8 and is unknown with the same mac address. (don't know which version) For those who think it's strange that i could save before without out changing the ip range, that's probably because i'm using my laptop now.
I'm really a network noob, but is there a way to make tiny core takes the same ip address as when its getting downloaded, from the tftpserver (like other disto's do)? Or do i really need to chance my whole setup to the needs of v3.2?

Perhaps an easier (and better supported) way might be if you could fire up TC on your "mothership-box" and run the 'tc-terminal-server' script.
