#How to netboot ubuntu software
The instructions I provide are using software and systems I have available to myself. The Net4801 specifications are available here. In this how to, we are using the Soekris Net4801 since it’s a small, interesting little computer which is designed as a somewhat open platform for router, wireless, and numerous other types of development and production type uses.

The methods in the guide to both network boot, and provide a serial console are not mutual specific and can be done on their own (example, you don’t need to network boot to install using a serial console, or vice versa). You can use this guide to perform the same function on other SBCs or other devices (even a standard server). To accomplish this, we will be network booting the Net4801 since it does not have any installation type storage (no cd-rom, and USB ports are not bootable), also since the Net4801 does not have a video card, or keyboard, we will be performing the installation over a serial console. Running netboot.xyz in a container is about zero-work and zero-pain, so it felt like the best path.In this “how to” we will go over installing Ubuntu 10.04 TLS on a Soekris Net4801 SBC (Single board computer). Regardless, you shouldn't have a hard time grafting this into your own Github netboot.xyz-custom repository at all.įurther (and as you may see in one of my other replies), I liked the idea of being able to download the assets myself and verify the hashes and signatures with the upstream source. And I considered some trickery to host the assets that are extracted from the ISO, but the thread I linked in the post ( here) expressed some concern over hosting the assets without some blessing from the Proxmox team, which didn't seem unreasonable. I did think about giving their custom Github flow a go (you may have noticed I named my repo very similarity with a -proxmox following the -custom pattern).

I spent a couple minutes trying to figure out how to tag the drive as "removable" but didn't find a solution. I'm pretty sure the problem is that the PVE installer only looks on media that has the "removable" flag set, which I believe an SSD card in a case does not have set (like say a typical USB key). I was using Ventoy to load the PVE image from a M.2 SSD card in an external USB3 case.

The installer would hang when looking for the ISO image (itself) when loading. Yeah, I tried installing via USB first, but the Proxmox VE installer failed when being used from my preferred USB install media. r/HomeNetworking - Simpler networking advice. r/pfsense - for all things pfsense ('nix firewall) Might be able to find things useful for a lab.
