Setting Up MBA in a Server Environment: 
Red Hat Linux PXE Server
 
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution has PXE Server support. It 
allows users to remotely perform a complete Linux installation over the 
network. The distribution comes with the boot images boot kernel 
(vmlinuz) and initial ram disk (initrd), which are located on the Red Hat 
disk#1: 
/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
Refer to the Red Hat documentation for instructions on how to install PXE 
Server on Linux. 
However, the Initrd.img file distributed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, does 
not have a Linux network driver for the Broadcom NetXtreme II adapters. 
This version requires a driver disk for drivers that are not part of the 
standard distribution. You download the driver software files from the 
Allied Telesis web site.
