# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa TFTP_USERNAME="tftp" TFTP_DIRECTORY="/home/tftp" TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69" TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure -vvvv"
Note - the idiots that started misusing /etc/default for general configs rather than fail safe defaults are not helping.
You need isc-dhcp-server installed and add this:
# for PXE booting: next-server 192.168.1.200; filename "pxelinux.0"; # end of PXE
gPXE is a Preboot EXecution Environment (PXE) and
bootloader. Enables computers without built-in PXE BIOS support to boot
from the network, and supports extra protocols beyond TFTP to transfer
boot data, including HTTP, iSCSI and ATA over Ethernet (AoE), and even
Wi-Fi.
Using gPXE by default allows a portable boot where one can boot via the Internet, but The size of most boot images would make this slow enough that sticking with atftpd sounds like a good idea.
Go to rom-o-matic Chose a "USB keychain" image.
Plug in some usb thumbdrive - if it automounts - unmount it
tail /var/log/syslog
Note the /dev/sgx where x varies and do a dd copy
# dd if=/path/to/gpxe-1.0.1-gpxe.usb of=/dev/sgx # sync
Wait to make sure the led stops flashing - you now have a pxe boot.
On the server you will want to copy memdisk, vesamenu.c32, pxelinux.0 from /usr/lib/syslinux/ and place in /srv/tftp/
# mkdir /svr/tftp/pxelinux.cfg
After populating the appropriate directories, make a file called default in /svr/tftp/pxelinux.cfg with content similar to :
