How do I make the TC directory live on a NFS server using PXE and NFS

[robert77546]

I have successfully booted TC using PXE and NFS but I can't get the TC or TCE folders to live on the NFS server even though the NFS folder is mounted.

This is my tftpd32.ini file:

Code: [Select]

[DHCP]
Lease_NumLeases=3
IP_Pool=192.168.8.100
PoolSize=100
BootFile=pxelinux.0
DNS=192.168.8.1
DNS2=
WINS=192.168.8.1
Mask=63.87.247.0
Gateway=192.168.8.1
Option42=
Option120=
DomainName=
Lease (minutes)=120
Lease_0_MAC=A0:B3:CC:2A:E3:CE
Lease_0_InitialOfferTime=07/19/2019/08:19:56
Lease_0_LeaseStartTime=07/19/2019/08:19:56
Lease_0_IP=192.168.8.100
[TFTPD32]
BaseDirectory=D:\Tftpd64_SE\TFTPBOOT
LocalIP=192.168.8.1
DHCP LocalIP=192.168.8.1
TftpPort=69
Hide=0
WinSize=0
Negociate=1
PXECompatibility=0
DirText=0
ShowProgressBar=1
Timeout=3
MaxRetransmit=6
SecurityLevel=1

My default file looks like:

Code: [Select]

DEFAULT vesamenu.c32
PROMPT 0
NOESCAPE 0
ALLOWOPTIONS 0
TIMEOUT 500

MENU TITLE Boot Menu

LABEL Label TinyCore
 MENU Label TinyCore
 kernel vmlinuz64-1
 initrd core64.gz host=TinyCore

LABEL label TinyCoreNFS
 MENU Label TinyCoreNFS
 kernel vmlinuz64-1
 initrd core64.gz host=TinyCoreNFS tftplist=192.168.8.1:/d/Tftpd64_SE/TFTPBOOT/tcz.lst nfsmount=192.168.8.1:/d/Tftpd64_SE/TFTPBOOT tce=/mnt/nfs home=/mnt/nfs


I'm using Windows10 as the server with Tftpd64 as the Tftp boot server, and WinNFSd.exe for the NFS server.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi Robert,

I've been using iPXE with the following entry successfully:
kernel nfs://192.168.8.158/clients/tce/boot/vmlinuz64
initrd nfs://192.168.8.158/clients/tce/boot/corepure64.gz
imgargs vmlinuz64 waitusb=10 nfsmount=192.168.8.158:/clients tce=nfs mydata=pxe lst=pxe.lst host=pc lang=en_GB.utf8

I hope that is of use,
Regards
