For the examples here I simply put the kickstart file from kickstart/basic.cfg on pastebin so that no extra HTTP server is needed.

NOTE: The kickstart file is retrieved via HTTP. Kickstart stuff is outside of the scope of this guide, but suffice to say you can automate basically any part of the install.

The Kickstart Install is identical to the Install entry except that it provides a kickstart config file to automate the install process. In this way you could support many different OS versions and vendors.

The kernel and initrd files were both downloaded from the ubuntu ftp archive and placed in the installers/ubuntu/wily/amd64/ directory. The Install menu entry simply boots the Ubuntu wily amd64 installer. Open it and you will find that the menu entry items look similar to grub boot item lines. The menu entries are configured in TFTP/pxelinux.cfg/default. That is the main extent of this guide however here are some more details about the menu items and configuration.

Select either one to try it out! Further configĪt this point the PXE booting works and you see a menu with two example items I have provided.

One liner to download and extract the TFTP folderĬlick boot and if all went well, you will see a menu with two entries: Note: You may have to create this directory if it doesn't exist. On Linux it is ~/.config/VirtualBox/TFTP/ Depending on your system it will be in a different location. Copy everything in TFTP folder of this repo to the VirtualBox storage directory. To make it easier, I have provided all of the files needed in this repo in the TFTP folder. Unfortunately VirtualBox does not provide any PXE boot configuration files and only provides a way to serve those files. For testing PXE and kickstart configs, I found that changing the boot order was easier. Alternatively, you can use F12 in the booting VM to load the boot menu. Set the VM to boot from network (System -> Motherboard -> Boot Order). Set the VM to use the NAT networking (Network -> Adapter 1 -> Attached to: NAT). In order for PXE booting to work with the builtin server in Virtualbox you need to configure your VM's network settings and boot order properly.

VirtualBox support PXE (network booting) out of the box with minimal configuration and no extra software or servers.
