These instructions assume that you have an existing PXE or iPXE

infrastructure and simply want to add the NixOS installer as another

option. To build the necessary files from a recent version of

nixpkgs, you can run:

nix-build -A netboot.x86_64-linux nixos/release.nix

This will create a <literal>result</literal> directory containing: *

<literal>bzImage</literal> – the Linux kernel *

<literal>initrd</literal> – the initrd file *

<literal>netboot.ipxe</literal> – an example ipxe script

demonstrating the appropriate kernel command line arguments for this

image

If you’re using plain PXE, configure your boot loader to use the

have it provide the same kernel command line arguments found in

<literal>netboot.ipxe</literal>.

<para>

If you’re using iPXE, depending on how your HTTP/FTP/etc. server is

unmodified, or you may need to update the paths to the files to

match your server’s directory layout.

# Booting from the "netboot" media (PXE) {#sec-booting-from-pxe}
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced users may wish to install NixOS using an existing PXE or iPXE
|
||||
setup.
|
||||
|
||||
These instructions assume that you have an existing PXE or iPXE
|
||||
infrastructure and simply want to add the NixOS installer as another
|
||||
option. To build the necessary files from a recent version of nixpkgs,
|
||||
you can run:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
nix-build -A netboot.x86_64-linux nixos/release.nix
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will create a `result` directory containing: \* `bzImage` -- the
|
||||
Linux kernel \* `initrd` -- the initrd file \* `netboot.ipxe` -- an
|
||||
example ipxe script demonstrating the appropriate kernel command line
|
||||
arguments for this image
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using plain PXE, configure your boot loader to use the
|
||||
`bzImage` and `initrd` files and have it provide the same kernel command
|
||||
line arguments found in `netboot.ipxe`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using iPXE, depending on how your HTTP/FTP/etc. server is
|
||||
configured you may be able to use `netboot.ipxe` unmodified, or you may
|
||||
need to update the paths to the files to match your server's directory
|
||||
layout.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future we may begin making these files available as build
|
||||
products from hydra at which point we will update this documentation
|
||||
with instructions on how to obtain them either for placing on a
|
||||
dedicated TFTP server or to boot them directly over the internet.
