# Booting from the "netboot" media (PXE) {#sec-booting-from-pxe}
|
||||
|
||||
Advanced users may wish to install NixOS using an existing PXE or iPXE
|
||||
setup.
|
||||
|
||||
These instructions assume that you have an existing PXE or iPXE
|
||||
infrastructure and want to add the NixOS installer as another
|
||||
option. To build the necessary files from your current version of nixpkgs,
|
||||
you can run:
|
||||
|
||||
```ShellSession
|
||||
nix-build -A netboot.x86_64-linux '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will create a `result` directory containing:
|
||||
|
||||
* `bzImage` -- the Linux kernel
|
||||
* `initrd` -- the initrd file
|
||||
* `netboot.ipxe` -- an example ipxe script demonstrating the appropriate kernel command line arguments for this image
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using plain PXE, configure your boot loader to use the
|
||||
`bzImage` and `initrd` files and have it provide the same kernel command
|
||||
line arguments found in `netboot.ipxe`.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using iPXE, depending on how your HTTP/FTP/etc. server is
|
||||
configured you may be able to use `netboot.ipxe` unmodified, or you may
|
||||
need to update the paths to the files to match your server's directory
|
||||
layout.
|
||||
|
||||
In the future we may begin making these files available as build
|
||||
products from hydra at which point we will update this documentation
|
||||
with instructions on how to obtain them either for placing on a
|
||||
dedicated TFTP server or to boot them directly over the internet.
