These instructions assume that you have an existing PXE or iPXE infrastructure and simply want to add the NixOS installer as another option.
- Obtain netboot media consisting of:
bzImage-- the Linux kernelinitrd-- the initrd filenetboot.ipxe-- an example ipxe script demonstrating the appropriate kernel command line arguments for this image
- Place the
bzImage,initrd, and optionally, thenetboot.ipxescript on your HTTP/TFTP server - Rename and/or customize the
netboot.ipxescript with any required paths before the file names - If you are not using the included
netboot.ipxefile, make sure that when booted the kernel will get the appropriate kernel command line arguments that are included in it.
