  • PXE rescue NFS and kickstart.cfg

    Posted on

    I'm trying to setup a PXE bootable rescue setup that loads it's requirements from NFS. To not have to specify the NFS server info include path to installation media I'm using a kickstart.cfg file. This all works great except it doesn't ask if I want it to find my filesystem and mount it, I do not want it to mount it as part of what I want to accomplish here is resizing filesystems. Anyone know of a flag/option to either force rescue NOT to find and mount an existing installation or prompt the user??

    Thanks, Mike

    Here is the contents of the kickstart.cfg file:

    #System keyboard
    keyboard us
    #Sytem timezone
    timezone America/New_York
    #Use text mode install
    text
    #System language
    lang en_US
    #Network information
    network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --nameserver x.x.x.x --noipv6
    #Use NFS installation Media
    nfs --server=x.x.x.x --opts=nfsvers=3 --dir=/RedHat/Media/RHE6U8x64
