si_mkautoinstallcd [-help] [-version] [-arch ARCH] [-out-file PATH] [-flavor FLAVOR] [-kernel PATH] [-initrd PATH] [-append STRING] [-quiet]
This manual page documents briefly the si_mkautoinstallcd command.
si_mkautoinstallcd creates an iso image which can be used to boot an autoinstall client and initiate an autoinstall.
A summary of options is included below.
-helpShow summary of options
-versionDisplay version and copyright information.
-arch ARCHCreate a CD image for autoinstallclients of this architecture. Defaults to the architecture of the host on which si_mkautoinstallcd is being run.
-out-file PATHName of the file that will hold the resulting ISO image. (Not to worry, this will only be about 3 MB in size.)
-flavor FLAVORThe flavor of the boot package to use. If this option is not specified, you will be asked to choose a flavor from the available list interactively.
-initrd PATHSpecify an alternate initial ramdisk to use. This is rarely useful, but may be necessary in some cases (e.g. needing to add more special files in /dev). See the SystemImager manual for instructions on creating a custom initial ramdisk.
-append STRINGThis option allows you to pass options to the autoinstall kernel. For example, to tell the kernel to use ttyS3 as the serial console:
-append "console=ttyS3"
-quietDon't print any output, just provide an appropriate exit code.
