Re: [Testbed-admins] Booting error in Customizing the Generic Image

["Cheng Cui" <ccui1@tigers.lsu.edu>]

Yes, it works. Now, I can see the grub prompt. Thanks very much.
However, how could I boot the admin MFS and then customize the node
image? It looks this linux based pxeboot a little bit different from the
FreeBSD based one, at least the admin MFS cannot be loaded
automatically.

I'm not sure at the moment.  Try renaming /tftpboot/grub2/grub.cfg to
something else (like /tftpboot/grub2/grub.cfg.bak) and reboot the node
to see what happens.  Hopefully you should get a Grub prompt.

Let me know what happens.
