PXE

1. On you PXE server, create a directory proxmox/$version in your PXE root directory (e.g. /var/lib/tftpboot/ or /srv/pxe/)

2. copy/move linux26 and initrd.img to this directory

3. Add the following lines to your PXE config file (mind the important parameter ramdisk_size or the initrd won't fit into default memory):

   label proxmox
           menu label Proxmox $version
           linux proxmox/$version/linux26
           append vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr ramdisk_size=524288
           initrd proxmox/$version/initrd.img splash=verbose
