<html><body> Are you working with an power arch machine with an open firmware? If so, at open firmware prompt, you can trigger the noninteractive network installatin by running such a command: 0>boot /pci@400000000211/pci@2/ethernet@1: ks=nfs:NFS_SERVER_IP:/PATH_TO_KSCFG/ks.cfg Here, "/pci@400000000211/pci@2/ethernet@1" is device info of my working NIC. Please find your own exact string from SMS menu. After getting boot image by bootp, this client machine will launch that image. And, "ks=nfs:..." will be passed to that image as kernel parameter.

Pxeboot is not supported by architecture reason. dhcp-option filename is used to give redhat-netboot-image filename to the client. I did not find any possibility to tell the network-booting client where to get the ks.cfg file. Is it not possible to use kickstart in this specific environment? Then i have to write a expect script, maybe python with module pexpect, but this seems this is hard to maintain through different version.
