systemimager pxe

[johnlehardos]

Hi,
i am trying to get something working using systemimager, but I don't if
I can make this with this software.
Well, I want to configure a machine as an image serveur with many
clients images stored on it. The clients update the remote image daily
or weekly. If a client crash, we just have to reboot the machine, boot
via the pxe, receive an IP from the Image/DHCP server, and download the
last remote image (selecting the good one) via tfpft or something else,
and finally boot normaly with local kernel and datas.

From now, i have installed systemimager server and client, create a
remote image, and I have just succeed to boot correctly via pxe, but
using the remote kernel from the image.

The getimage script has correctly made my client image on the server,
generating a /var/lib/systemimager/scripts/GX150.master script. I
supposed this script may be used to restore the image on the client but
I don't if I'm right, and how to do this.

Most help I have found on the official systemimager website, and also
from many others websites, are showing documentation for booting from a
diskette, CD or a lilo bootloader. But almost nothing describing how to
get systemimager working from a pxe boot.

thanks a lot for helping me.
