[Voyage-linux] Different PXE Server

[Gustin Johnson]

My PXE config looks like this;

LABEL System Rescue CD "Live Image"
        LINUX systemrescue/rescuecd
        INITRD systemrescue/initram.igz
        APPEND scandelay=1 docache
netboot=nfs://192.168.1.10:/images/systemrescue setkmap=us toram
        TEXT
        SystemRescueCD network boot image (recovery)
        ENDTEXT

The 192.168.1.10 is also the PXE server, but it could be any machine.
You can also ignore the TEXT/ENDTEXT bit, it is just for the onscreen
menu (we have a customized FOG install that this is part of).

The Linux and INITRD options are paths that exist under the root of
the TFTP server.
The relevant line from the /etc/exports file:

/images/systemrescue
*(rw,sync,no_wdelay,insecure_locks,no_root_squash,insecure,no_subtree_check)
