Tutorial: Diskless Booting

for the linux retarded it seems like you could use something like freenas to make the iscsi target?
 
yes, i tried that initially, but it didn't work. gpxe and freenas didn't communicate. furthermore, freenas doesn't have dhcpd out of the box so you'll have to mess with it.
 
is there any way to "ghost" an existing setup to the server?

for example all my machines are already setup the way I need them... can I just image the hard disk to the server so that they boot with their existing config?
 
What OSs are your clients running? Windows with product keys? Ubuntu?

It would be cool to have the server auto-assign OS and folding clients based on client hardware. If only there was a Linux GPU client so we wouldn't have to run WINE.



 
yes, you can live cd boot to ubuntu and make a ghost image using 'dd' command to a file.

my os's is windows 7. ubuntu doesn't have native iscsi install options. fedora works great out of the box with iscsi target support.

you can assign them using the mac address - that's as close to 'auto' assign as you can get.
