Windows 2000
The current version of Windows 2000 does not include a network driver for the Broadcom 440X 10/100
Integrated Controller. To do remote installation with PXE, include a network driver for the Broadcom
440X 10/100 Integrated Controller as a part of the client installation image on the server. Refer to
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 246184, "How to Add Third-Party OEM Network Adapters to RIS
Installations." See also Troubleshooting for details.
DOS UNDI/APITEST
To boot in DOS and connect to a network for the DOS environment, download the Intel® PXE PDK
from the Intel website. This PXE PDK comes with a TFTP/ProxyDHCP/Boot server. The PXE PDK can be
downloaded from Intel by going to http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/
bootagent/30619.htm and searching on PXE PDK.
Red Hat Linux
Red Hat® Linux® 8.0 (or later) distribution has PXE server support. It allows users to do a complete
Linux installation over the network. Similarly, Red Hat 8.0 is also distributed with boot images—boot
kernel (vmlinux) and initial ram disk (initrd). These images are on the Red Hat CD disk#1:
/images/pxeboot/vmlinux
/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
The initrd.img file distributed with Red Hat 8.0 does not have a Linux network driver for the Broadcom
440X 10/100 Integrated Controller. This version requires a driver disk for drivers that are not part of
the standard distribution. You can create a driver disk for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated
Controller from the image distributed with the Installation CD. Refer to Red Hat documentation for how
to install PXE server on Linux.
In this version, it prompts you to insert a driver disk for drivers that are not part of the standard
distribution. You can create a driver disk for the Broadcom 440X 10/100 Integrated Controller from the
Red Hat CD-ROM or from the support website. Refer to the Linux Readme.txt file for more information.
A remote boot does not require a standard Linux network driver for the Broadcom 440X 10/100
Integrated Controller. After the PXE client downloads the Linux kernel and initial ram disk, the Linux
universal driver that came with the Linux distribution binds with the UNDI code of the PXE to form a
Linux network driver.
Windows NT® 4.0 Remoteboot Server
For instructions on setting up the Windows NT 4.0 Remoteboot Server, refer to Remoteboot (Chapter
15) from the Microsoft TechNet website.
