Kip,

We use either grub with tftp (limited driver support here), or XenoBoot
(now an optional function of the new Xen demo CD). We have a fairly
elaborate system involving our lab-wide NFS tree and scripts and
symlinks for getting the right images for each machine. Root filesystems
for diskless systems are either iSCSI, as previously discussed or NFS.

James

All the power-cycling I've been doing appears have done bad things to
the local disk on one of my development machines. I'm hoping that you
might have short recipe on setting up diskless boot with xen.

I set up PXEboot long ago, but I recall the documentation as being
rather poor.

Thanks.
