providing a static IP/Netmas/Gateway + location of a preseed file at boot prompt.
Hi guys,
I would like to install my Debian machines with the Pressed D-I feature.
At this moment, I dont have a decent DHCP/BootP server yet, and waiting
for this to be achieved, I want to manually provide the IP address at
the boot prompt.
I already use it on others distributions install, but I miss the right
syntax on Debian.
What I want is to issue something similar to
[...] ip=xxxxx netmask=yyyy gateway=zzzzz
preseed/url=http://host/preseed.cfg
My guess, reading the documentation is I cant directly put some preseed
parameters in the boot parameters.
What I want would be:
[...] netcfg/get_ipaddress=92.168.1.42 \
netcfg/get_netmask=255.255.255.0 \
netcfg/get_gateway=192.168.1.1 \
preseed/url=http://host/preseed.cfg
Am I right?
