[gPXE] gPXE RHEL kickstart without DHCP

[Matthew Helton]

You're close...

Try

#!gpxe
ifstat
set net0/ip <host IP>
set net0/gateway <gw address>
set net0/netmask <netmask>
set net0/dns <DNS address>
ifopen net0
initrd http://<rhn satellite
address>/images/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-64/initrd.img
chain http://<rhn satellite
address>/images/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-64/vmlinuz ks=http://<rhn
satellite>/linux/rhel64/kickstart/ics-5.3.0.nolvm.ks


And while you're at it, try iPXE, the maintained successor to gPXE...

enough time to do it again.
