2
Enter manual at the boot prompt or select Start ZENworks Imaging in Maintenance Mode
from the PXE menu.
3 Enter the following to mount the hard drive:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/harddisk
4 Enter the following to mount the diskette that contains the driver files:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
5 Enter the following to copy the files to the appropriate directory on the ZfD imaging partition:
cp /mnt/floppy/*.o /mnt/harddisk/lib/modules/2.4.3/drivers/net
6 Type reboot > press Enter.
Preboot Services (PXE)
To add Linux drivers for use with Preboot Services, you must have a working Linux workstation
capable of mounting a loop device. Red Hat* 7 has this ability compiled in the distribution kernel.
1 On the TFTP server on your Imaging/Preboot Services server, locate the linux.2 file in
\public\zenworks\imaging\tftp. Make a backup copy of this file.
2 On the Linux workstation, create a working directory for linux.2.
3 Using a transfer method such as FTP, transfer linux.2 to the directory created in Step 2.
4 Enter the following to rename linux.2 to linux.gz:
mv linux.2 linux.gz
5 Enter the following to extract linux.gz:
gzip -d linux.gz
This will replace the linux.gz file with a file named linux. This file is a MINIX file system that
can be mounted and changed.
6 Enter the following to create a mount point:
mkdir /mnt/loop
7 Enter the following to mount the file system:
mount -o loop linux /mnt/loop
8 Copy the driver files to the appropriate directory in the /mnt/loop directory structure.
9 Enter the following to unmount the updated file system:
umount /mnt/loop
10 Enter the following to zip the file:
gzip --v9c linux
11 Enter the following to rename the file:
mv linux.gz linux.2
12 Using a transfer method such as FTP, transfer linux.2 to the TFTP server.
Another method of modifying Linux drivers for use with Preboot Services is to use a build script.
This allows knowledgeable Linux users to maintain a build area where modifications can be made
and new Preboot Services files can be created with a single script. These build scripts are released
"as is" and are not supported by Novell or Novell Technical Support. They can be found at the
