Figure 8-47 Netbooting the boot loader

For a description of the installation, see 8.3.3, “Installing SUSE Linux Enterprise

Server” on page 381.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1, we follow a procedure similar to the one shown

in “SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11” on page 355. The description that follows

shows the differences between the two procedures.

Complete the following steps:

1. Obtain the ISO file of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1, and copy it to a work

directory of the installation server.

2. On the installation server, install the tftp and the dhcpd server packages (we

use dhcpd to run bootp on a specific MAC address).

3. Copy the yaboot executable from the DVD directory ppc/chrp to the

tftpboot directory on the installation server (/var/lib/tftpboot/).
