Debian live via PXE server



Dear all,

I am trying to set up a PXE server using debian Jessie and di-netboot-assistant.

The standard installation of jessie from the PXE server works fine.

As an addition I would like to offer a debian live system on my PXE server.

What I accomplished so far:

Downloaded live image debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso to my home.
Mounted the ISO to
/home/flori/debian-live-8.2.0-amd64-gnome-desktop.iso   /var/lib/tftpboot/debianlive    iso9660 ro,loop 0       0

The content of /var/lib/tftpboot/debianlive looks like this

-r--r--r-- 1 root root    133 Sep  8 23:02 autorun.inf
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root      1 Sep  8 22:51 debian -> .
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2048 Sep  8 22:51 dists
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 180335 Sep  8 23:02 g2ldr
-r--r--r-- 1 root root   8192 Sep  8 23:02 g2ldr.mbr
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2048 Sep  8 23:02 install
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2048 Sep  8 23:02 isolinux
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2048 Sep  8 23:02 live
-r--r--r-- 1 root root  28165 Sep  8 23:02 md5sum.txt
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2048 Sep  8 22:51 pool
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 368480 Sep  8 23:02 setup.exe
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root   2048 Sep  8 23:02 tools
-r--r--r-- 1 root root    228 Sep  8 23:02 win32-loader.ini

I modified  /var/lib/tftpboot/debian-installer/pxelinux.cfg/default

LABEL Debian LiveCD
MENU DEFAULT
KERNEL ::/debianlive/live/vmlinuz
APPEND root=/dev/nfs netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.7.1:/var/lib/tftpboot/debianlive/live/ initrd=::/debianlive/live/initrd.img

When I start any computer with PXE, the kernel is booting fine, but for some reason the file system is not working.

Where is the mistake?

Can anybody point out a description on how to set up a debian live system via a PXE server?

Thanks a lot

Flori
