Recently <strong>another</strong> Maxtor hard disk died on me, and I decided to get network booting working. I already have a file server from which I host my <code>$HOME</code> directories and do all backups from. It sounded like a win.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve never done this before, so it took me a few hours to get the first host going, the second took 10 minutes plus the amount of time to build the kernel for it.</p> <p>Below, I describe steps I took to get pxe-enabled hardware to boot a debian image, from a debian <em>DHCP</em>, <em>TFTP</em> and <em>NFS</em> servers.</p>
