Re: [Users] How to pxeboot ovrit node into memory automatically?

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
