Create an Acronis Bootable CDROM (ISO Image) containing the applications needed. I prefer to split True Image Server and Disk Director for quicker TFTP delivery. You must exact the boot image file from the ISO image using UltraISO 8.6+ or another ISO management application where you can extract an ISO bootable information file (BIF). Once you have extracted the BIF file, open the BIF file with UltraISO and copy the following files from the image (the kernel and ramdisk are in DOS 8.3 format as the menu system is DOS based): kern3.dat -> rename to: kernel.dat (or kernel) ramd2.dat -> rename to: ramdisk.dat (or ramdisk) PXELinux Menu: You will need to understand the menu system enough to interpret the menu below as this is not a PXELinux primer. Below you will see I use two options for a single version, the "vga=nnn" sets the resolution as some notebook computers prefer the 640x480 resolution (785). If you can only have a single option, use 785 as it is the most compatible. For more information on resolutions, look at common Linux kernel boot options for a table of resolutions. #pxelinux.cfg menu #acronis true image server, resolution: 640x480 @ 16b label ati785 menu label Acronis True Image (640x480 @ 16b) kernel images/acronis/ati/kernel.dat append initrd=images/acronis/ati/ramdisk.dat quiet vga=785 ramdisk_size=32768 acpi=off noapic #acronis true image server, resolution: 1024x768 @ 16b label ati791 menu label Acronis True Image (1024x768 @ 16b) kernel images/acronis/ati/kernel.dat append initrd=images/acronis/ati/ramdisk.dat quiet vga=791 ramdisk_size=32768 acpi=off noapic -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes on Filenames with Multi-Option Acronis Menus: The file named kern3.dat is the kernel, ramd2.dat is the ramdisk loaded by the kernel for the root filesystem. You will notice other files in the BIF file which is used for creating the boot menu on the bootable CDROM. The numbers used such as kern3.dat and ramd2.dat are used in the event you have multiple Acronis products integrated into the CDROM. Different kernels and especially ramdisk files will be used depending on the menu selected. For PXE, you will not be using the Acronis menu so you must choose the matching kernel and ramdisk; see the bootmenu.xml file to find the particular menu option you plan to extract if you have more than one option; in the XML code find the section you want (eg name="C1" verb="C1") and then open bootwiz.cfg to match up the kernel and ramdisk (C1 by default on a single menu system). You can also find the kernel and ramdisk files in the following location although you may have some trial and error matching kernels with ramdisks: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\*
