7 Add Debian Sarge Netboot
Next we download the Debian Sarge netboot files and put them in /var/lib/tftpboot/debian/sarge like this:
cd /tmp
lftp -c "open http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/; mirror netboot/"
cd netboot/
mv debian-installer/ sarge
mkdir /var/lib/tftpboot/debian
mv sarge /var/lib/tftpboot/debian/
(You can download the files from any other Debian mirror as well. Use one that is close to you.)
Then open pxelinux.cfg/default again as described in chapter 6, copy the LABEL stanzas, modify them, and add them to /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default. /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default should now look like this:
vi /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
DISPLAY boot.txt
