Most tools you want to boot are probably Linux systems. To boot them, you need
|
|
a *kernel* and some (initial) filesystem. One way is to load an *initrd*
|
|
(initial ramdisk) which contains only the basic stuff and mounts the big
|
|
filesystem itself. Or you can mount the "big" filesystem directly and use that
|
|
from the beginning.
|
|
|
|
You can find my current config [here](https://github.com/mbirth/ipxe-config).
|
|
And below you'll find detailed instructions for those tools.

Bootstrap
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
For general preparation, I fill some variables with architecture relevant data,
|
|
e.g. if the system is 32bit or 64bit. And to spice things up, I also have a few
|
|
variables with colour codes. This is the code I use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
set esc:hex 1b
|
|
set bold ${esc:string}[1m
|
|
set orange ${esc:string}[33;0m
|
|
set yellow ${esc:string}[33;1m
|
|
set cyan ${esc:string}[36;1m
|
|
set resetfg ${esc:string}[39m
|
|
set resetbg ${esc:string}[49m
|
|
set resetbold ${esc:string}[22m
|
|
set reset ${esc:string}[0m
|
|
|
|
# Figure out if client is 64-bit capable
|
|
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch x86
|
|
cpuid --ext 29 && set archb 64 || set archb 32
|
|
cpuid --ext 29 && set archl x86_64 || set archl i386
|
|
|
|
set chotkey ${bold}
|
|
set cname ${orange}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also, `${boot-url}` is the URL to my web server's `ipxe` directory where
|
|
everything is located.
|
|
|
|
|
|
AVG Rescue CD
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
To run the [AVG Rescue CD](http://www.avg.com/ww-en/avg-rescue-cd), you need
|
|
these files from the ISO image:
|
|
|
|
* `isolinux/vmlinuz`
|
|
* `isolinux/initrd.lzm`
|
|
|
|
Then use this iPXE configuration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}AVG Rescue CD${reset}
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}avg/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}vmlinuz max_loop=255 init=linuxrc vga=ask reboot=bios
|
|
initrd ${base-url}initrd.lzm
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
BitDefender Rescue CD
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
For the [BitDefender Rescue CD](http://www.bitdefender.com/support/how-to-create-a-bitdefender-rescue-cd-627.html)
|
|
you need to unpack the ISO image to some directory and make that available via
|
|
NFS.
|
|
|
|
Also, you need the files:
|
|
|
|
* `boot/kernel.x86_64-efi`
|
|
* `boot/kernel.i386-pc`
|
|
* `boot/initfs.x86_64-efi`
|
|
* `boot/initfs.i386-pc`
|
|
|
|
Rename them to remove the `-pc` and `-efi` suffixes, then use this iPXE config
|
|
(adapt to your needs, esp. the `nfsroot` parameter):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}BitDefender Rescue CD${reset} (${archl})
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}bitdefender/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}kernel.${archl} root=/dev/nfs real_root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=172.16.254.1:/volume1/web/ipxe/bitdefender/cd/ ip=${ip} loop=/rescue/livecd.squashfs looptype=squashfs livecd.nfsif=${mac} initrd udev cdroot nosplash lang=en
|
|
initrd ${base-url}initfs.${archl}
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
CloneZilla
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Download [CloneZilla](http://clonezilla.org/downloads/download.php?branch=stable)
|
|
as a zip package. Download both architecture versions (`amd64` and `i686`). From
|
|
the zip files, you need these files (per architecture):
|
|
|
|
* `live/vmlinuz`
|
|
* `live/initrd.img`
|
|
* `live/filesystem.squashfs` --- "big" filesystem
|
|
* `live/Clonezilla-Live-Version` --- version marker
|
|
|
|
Put these files into a directory `x86_64` for the `amd64` variant, and `x86` for
|
|
the `i686` variant.
|
|
|
|
Then use this iPXE config (notice the `${arch}` in the `base-url`):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}Clonezilla${reset} (${arch})
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}clonezilla/${arch}/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}vmlinuz boot=live union=overlay username=user config components noswap edd=on nomodeset nodmraid noeject locales= keyboard-layouts= ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_batch=no vga=normal net.ifnames=0 nosplash i915.blacklist=yes radeonhd.blacklist=yes nouveau.blacklist=yes vmwgfx.enable_fbdev=1 fetch=${base-url}filesystem.squashfs
|
|
initrd ${base-url}initrd.img
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
DFSee
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
For [DFSee](http://www.dfsee.com/) the easiest way is to load the whole ISO
|
|
image into RAM and boot it from there.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}DFSee${reset}
|
|
kernel ${boot-url}memdisk iso raw
|
|
initrd ${boot-url}dfsee/dfsee.iso
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
#sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x00 ${sanboot-url}dfsee/dfsee.iso
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(The `sanboot` line didn't work for me for some reason. That's why I used
|
|
[memdisk](http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK) instead.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
FSecure
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Getting the [F-Secure Rescue CD](https://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/rescue-cd)
|
|
to boot via the network is a bit more complicated (if you want to avoid using
|
|
`memdisk`).
|
|
|
|
From the ISO image, you need the following:
|
|
|
|
* `boot/isolinux/fsecure/linux` --- kernel
|
|
* `boot/isolinux/fsecure/minirt.gz` --- init ramdisk
|
|
* `KNOPPIX/` --- folder with the remaining system files
|
|
|
|
Then proceed according to [this](http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=WDSLINUX#F-Secure_Antivirus_Rescue_CD):
|
|
|
|
* Copy the extracted `minirt.gz` file and `KNOPPIX/` folder to a temporary
|
|
location on a linux machine (e.g. `/root/tmp`)
|
|
* In the `/root/tmp` location create a folder called `fsecure` and change
|
|
into this directory
|
|
|
|
mkdir /root/tmp/fsecure
|
|
cd /root/tmp/fsecure
|
|
|
|
* Type the following command and press enter (this extracts all the files from
|
|
the `minirt.gz` file)
|
|
|
|
gunzip -c ../minirt.gz | cpio -idv
|
|
|
|
* Copy the `KNOPPIX` folder to the `mnt-system` folder (from the now extracted
|
|
`minirt.gz`)
|
|
|
|
cp -r ../KNOPPIX mnt-system
|
|
|
|
* Make a backup copy of the `init` file
|
|
|
|
cp init init.orig
|
|
|
|
* Edit the `init` file with the following modifications
|
|
|
|
* Find the `# findknoppix devices...` section and delete everything from the
|
|
`findknoppix()` method and replace it by `return 0`
|
|
|
|
Change
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# findknoppix devices...
|
|
findknoppix(){
|
|
local dev
|
|
for dev in "$@"; do
|
|
[ -b "$dev" ] || continue
|
|
echo -n -e "\r${CRE}${BLUE}${SEARCHINGFOR} $DISTRO in: ${MAGENTA}$dev${NORMAL} "
|
|
trymount "$dev" /mnt-system >/dev/null 2>&1 || continue
|
|
if [ -r /mnt-system/"$knoppix_dir"/KNOPPIX ] ; then
|
|
# We must have also fsecure structure present else we might try to mount something wrong.
|
|
if [ -d /mnt-system/fsecure/rescuecd ] || [ -d /mnt-system/boot/isolinux/fsecure ] ; then
|
|
echo -e "\r${CRE}${GREEN}$DISTRO ${FOUNDAT}: ${MAGENTA}$dev${NORMAL} "
|
|
return 0
|
|
fi
|
|
fi
|
|
umount /mnt-system
|
|
done
|
|
return 1
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
into
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# findknoppix devices...
|
|
findknoppix(){
|
|
return 0
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Compress everything back into a file again by typing the following and
|
|
press enter
|
|
|
|
find . -print | cpio -o -H newc |gzip -9 -c - > ../minirt.gz.new
|
|
|
|
* Copy the new `minirt.gz.new` to the `fsecure` directory on the web server
|
|
and name it `minirt.gz`
|
|
|
|
* Copy the `linux` kernel to the same directory
|
|
|
|
This is the iPXE boot code:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}F-Secure Rescue CD${reset}
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}fsecure/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}linux ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en vt.default_utf8=0 apm=power-off vga=normal nomce loglevel=1 nolapic_timer nosound console=tty10 video=noblank
|
|
initrd ${base-url}minirt.gz
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
G4L - Ghost for Linux
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
For [G4L](https://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l/) extract these files from the
|
|
iso image:
|
|
|
|
* `ramdisk.lzma`
|
|
* `bz4x2.8` --- kernel 4x2.8, seems to be more compatible than the others
|
|
|
|
(You can try different kernel versions if you run into problems.)
|
|
|
|
Here's the iPXE config:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}G4L - Ghost for Linux${reset}
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}g4l/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}bz4x2.8
|
|
initrd ${base-url}ramdisk.lzma
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
g4u - ghosting for unix
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
I tried to boot [g4u](http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/) directly, but that didn't work
|
|
for me. So the easiest way is to load the whole ISO into RAM and boot it from
|
|
there - just as if you inserted the CD.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}g4u - ghosting for unix${reset}
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}g4u/
|
|
#kernel ${base-url}netbsd
|
|
#initrd ${base-url}miniroot.kmod
|
|
kernel ${boot-url}memdisk iso raw
|
|
initrd ${base-url}g4u-2.5.iso
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
GParted Live
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Just like with CloneZilla, you can download [GParted Live](http://gparted.org/download.php)
|
|
as a zip file for `amd64` and `i686` architecture.
|
|
|
|
Then get these files from each zip file and put them into directories `x86_64`
|
|
(for `amd64`) and `x86` (for `i686`).
|
|
|
|
* `live/GParted-Live-Version`
|
|
* `live/vmlinuz`
|
|
* `live/initrd.img`
|
|
* `live/filesystem.squashfs`
|
|
|
|
This is the iPXE config I use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}GParted Live${reset} (${arch})
|
|
set base-url ${boot-url}gparted/${arch}/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}vmlinuz boot=live union=overlay username=user config components noswap noeject ip= net.ifnames=0 nosplash fetch=${base-url}filesystem.squashfs
|
|
initrd ${base-url}initrd.img
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
HDT - Hardware Detection Tool
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
[HDT](http://www.hdt-project.org/) comes as a small floppy image and can be
|
|
booted using the `sanboot` command.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}Hardware Detection Tool${reset}
|
|
sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x00 ${sanboot-url}hdt/hdt.img || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Memtest86 V6
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
[Memtest86](http://www.memtest86.com/) comes as a usb flash drive image which
|
|
you can boot using [memdisk](http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MEMDISK).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}Memtest86 V6${reset}
|
|
kernel ${boot-url}memdisk
|
|
initrd ${boot-url}memtest86-6/memtest86-usb.img
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
#sanboot --no-describe --drive 0x00 ${sanboot-url}memtest86-6/memtest86-usb.img
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Again, `sanboot` didn't work for me.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Memtest86+ V5
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
[Memtest86+](http://www.memtest.org/) is the free and open-source alternative
|
|
to Memtest86. This is distributed as a ready-to-boot binary.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}Memtest86+ V5${reset}
|
|
boot ${boot-url}memtest86+/memtest86+.bin || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
SystemRescueCD
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
For the [SysRescCD](https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/), you need the
|
|
following files from the ISO image:
|
|
|
|
* `sysrcd.dat` --- "big" filesystem
|
|
* `sysrcd.md5` --- checksum to validate the sysrcd.dat
|
|
* `isolinux/rescue32` --- kernel for 32bit systems
|
|
* `isolinux/rescue64` --- kernel for 64bit systems
|
|
* `isolinux/initram.igz` --- initial ramdisk
|
|
|
|
Copy those to a directory `sysresccd` on your web server (where the `boot.ipxe`
|
|
is).
|
|
|
|
SysRescCD looks for the "big" filesystem for itself. You just have to point it
|
|
into the right direction with the `netboot` parameter.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
echo Booting ${cname}SystemRescueCD${reset} (${archb})
|
|
set base-url http://diskstation:80/ipxe/sysresccd/
|
|
kernel ${base-url}isolinux/rescue${archb}
|
|
initrd ${base-url}isolinux/initram.igz
|
|
imgargs rescue${archb} setkmap=de dodhcp netboot=${base-url}sysrcd.dat
|
|
boot || goto failed
|
|
```
|
|
|
