{{WorkInProgressNeedsUpdate}} <b>NOTE:</b> This is for Fedora 14 ONLY and needs updated to reflect Amahi 7 specifics. Ok Netboot works, Now so now what?Let's try adding Parted Magic
__NOTOC__
----
= Step 1: Create share in amahi Amahi Dashboard: =*login -> Setup -> Shares -> New Share
[[File:1-Createshare.PNG|right|500px|caption|]]
<ins>Name:</ins> Call it ''' "netboot" ''' or ''' "pxe" ''' or ''' "tftp" ''' or whatever you want. I use ''' "pxe" '''.
<ins>Location:</ins> /usr/share/amahi-netboot/tftp
'''NOTE:''' This is where amahi-netboot installs configuration files *If you browse this folder you should see:*<pre>boot.msg*logo.16 *menu.c32 *other.conf*f2*memtest *minirooot.gz *pxelinux.0*vmlinuz *pxelinux.cfg folder</pre>
= Step 2: Add Parted Magic entry to menu: =
* Navigate into pxlinux.cfg folder
* Right click on "default" file and edit with notepad++. You should see:{{Text|Text=<pre>DEFAULT menu.c32
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 100 # start the default after 10 seconds
LABEL PBA
MENU LABEL PBA --->
APPEND nfsdir=hda:/var/hda/apps/pba/client/iso lang=us ramdisk_size=100000 nomce dma nosound apm=power-off nopcmcia nofirewire init=/etc/init nomce vga=normal initrd=miniroot.gz 2 BOOT_IMAGE=insert
LABEL memtest86+
MENU LABEL Memtest86+ --->
*At the bottom paste in the following:{{Text|Text=LABEL pmagic MENU LABEL Parted Magic KERNEL images/pmagic/bzImage INITRD images/pmagic/initrd.img APPEND noapic root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=100000D}}
*Create another folder in your share called ''' "images" ''' called ''' "pmagic" '''
*Create another folder in ''' "images" ''' called ''' "pmagic" ''' *Should have the following structure
<pre>
= Step 3: Download Parted Magic : =
*Locate the files '''''"bzimage"''''' and '''''"initrd.img"'''''
*Open virtual box.
[[File:starttest.png|none|500px|]]<br>
*Start''''' "test" '''''virtual machine and should display menu:[[File:menupmagic.png|none|500px|]]<br>
*Select "Parted Magic" from menu and should display menu:[[File:menupmagicloadpmagic.png|none|500px|]]<br>
= Works =
* <ins>If you select Parted Magic and the screen just blinks</ins>
**Double check the KERNEL path in your menu entry:
<pre> KERNEL images/pmagic/bzImage</pre>
* <ins>If it starts and doesn't boot completely</ins>
**double Double check the INITRD menu entry <pre> INITRD images/pmagic/initrd.img</pre>
* <ins>Permissions problems: login as root in console or putty</ins>
chown -Rc admin:admin tftp
chmod -Rc 755 tftp}}</pre>
* <ins>Still nothing, </ins>
