Hi Fabian,
That kernel option worked for me! The node is booted up in RAM. Thanks!
My next question is: How do I specify the root login and passwd as boot parameters?
Hey David. Nice that it worked! Were you able to register to the Engine? You can use the adminpw= and rootpw= kernel arguments to set passwords. use $ openssl passwd -salt 42 to create one or two passwords Greetings fabian

Hi,
I was following the instructions at http://www.ovirt.org/Node_PXE. My goal is to use pxeboot (iPXE) to boot the node entirely into RAM with rootfs. What I got now is an installation screen which requires a local storage. My system has no disk and this doesn't quite work for me.
What's are the kernel parameters I need to use to boot the node into RAM automatically? I am OK as the first step with a stateless node.
Hey David,
the stateless mode is currently not completely working with oVirt Engine. That means a Node needs to be approved each time it boots into the stateless mode. The stateless mode can be entered by appending stateless to the default kernel arguments.
