Once the client is network booted, it either boots off the autoinstall
Diskette that you created or uses PXE to network boot, and loads the
install kernel. It then broadcasts a BOOTP/DHCP request to obtain the
IP address associated with its MAC address. The DHCP server provides
the IP information and the client looks for its auto-install script in
/var/lib/systemimager/scripts/. The script is named
nodename
.sh and is a symbolic link to the script for the
desired image. The auto-install script is the installation workhorse,
and does the following:
Once clone completes, the client will either reboot, halt, or beep as specified when defining the image.
