Then follow instructions printed out by grub-mknetdir on configuring your DHCP |
|
server. |
|
|
|
+The grub.cfg file is placed in the same directory as the path output by |
|
+grub-mknetdir hereafter referred to as FWPATH. GRUB will search for its |
|
+configuration files in order using the following rules where the appended |
|
+value corresponds to a value on the client machine. |
|
+ |
|
+@example |
|
+@group |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-@samp{(UUID OF NIC)} |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-@samp{(MAC ADDRESS OF NIC)} |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-@samp{(IPv4 OR IPv6 ADDRESS)} |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg |
|
+@end group |
|
+@end example |
|
+ |
|
+The client will only attempt to look up an IPv6 address config once, however, |
|
+it will try the IPv4 multiple times. The concrete example below shows what |
|
+would happen under the IPv4 case. |
|
+ |
|
+@example |
|
+@group |
|
+UUID: 7726a678-7fc0-4853-a4f6-c85ac36a120a |
|
+MAC: 52:54:00:ec:33:81 |
|
+IPV4: 10.0.0.130 (0A000082) |
|
+@end group |
|
+@end example |
|
+ |
|
+@example |
|
+@group |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-7726a678-7fc0-4853-a4f6-c85ac36a120a |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-52-54-00-ec-33-81 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A000082 |

+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A00008 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A0000 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A000 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A00 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A0 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0A |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg-0 |
|
+@samp{(FWPATH)}/grub.cfg |
|
+@end group |
|

After GRUB has started, files on the TFTP server will be accessible via the |

@samp{(tftp)} device. |
