The default directory for the PXE image is usually /tftpboot/linux-install.
The remainder of this procedure assumes that the PXE files have been installed in
this directory.

directory, modify the procedure as necessary.
3. Make a directory for the Sun Fire X2250 Server Tools & Drivers CD contents.
4. Insert the Sun Fire X2250 Server Tools & Drivers CD into the PXE server, and
copy the boot.img file located in the root directory of the CD to the new Sun
Fire X2250 server supplemental directory created in Step 3.
5. Download the MEMDISK kernel.
a. Go to the latest SYSLINUX project web site at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/
b. Save the latest syslinux-version.zip file to your root directory.
Where version is the latest SYSLINUX project version.

8. Copy the memdisk kernel to the new Sun Fire X2250 Server Tools & Drivers
Directory created in Step 3.
For example:
# mkdir /tftpboot/linux-install/suppl_ven
# cp /mnt/cdrom/boot.img /tftpboot/linux-install/suppl_ven
# unzip syslinux-3.09.zip
# cd /syslinux-3.09/memdisk
#
cp /syslinux-3.09/memdisk/memdisk /tftpboot/linux-install/suppl_ven
