MAC Based booting

Installing with PXE and FAI MAC Address based.

With this hooks and some small changes in dhcpd.conf (based on FAI-CD) every computer that boots fai gets a MAC based config file installed in the pxelinux.cfg/ dir. May be in the future a GUI can use/change this information.

File dhcpd.conf

....
# deny unknown-clients
....
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
{
  range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.249;
  ....

If you press <shift> key during pxe booting you can get a prompt.

Possible commands are:

mkboot HOST=local  
mkboot HOST=remove 
.....
mkboot HOST=demohost
.....

Hook mkboot

#! /bin/bash 
# hook mkboot for fai.
# If you start this script on a fai client it copy, create or delete a pxe bootfile. It use the ethernet mac
# address of the fai client.
