| + | ==== Conclusion ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Configuring boot over iSCSI work in Debian Lenny can potentially be much easier than it was in Etch because of the built-in support for iSCSI boot made by Debian devs in Lenny. If you only have a few servers that you need to boot over iSCSI then using this metod is simple to set up and probably works great. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However if you have a setup with many computers (cluster) or need a more elegant way to manage your boot parameters for another reason then you will need to modify the default behaviour in Lenny, and this requires about half the amount of fiddeling required with Debian Etch. | ||
| + | |||
| + | However if you decide to boot XEN nodes like I showed in this example you need to fiddle just as much if not more than the Etch howto described :) | ||
