This manual page documents briefly the mkautoinstallcd command.
mkautoinstallcd creates an iso image which can be used to boot an autoinstall client and initiate an autoinstall.
A summary of options is included below.
-help
Show summary of options
-version
Display version and copyright information.
-arch ARCH
Create a CD image for autoinstallclients of this architecture. Defaults to the architecture of the host on which mkautoinstallcd is being run.
-out-file PATH
Name of the file that will hold the resulting ISO image. (Not to worry, this will only be about 3 MB in size.)
-flavor FLAVOR
The flavor of the boot package to use. If this option is not specified, you will be asked to choose a flavor from the available list interactively.
-initrd PATH
Specify an alternate initial ramdisk to use. This is rarely useful, but may be necessary in some cases (e.g. needing to add more special files in /dev). See the SystemImager manual for instructions on creating a custom initial ramdisk.
-append STRING
This option allows you to pass options to the autoinstall kernel. For example, to tell the kernel to use ttyS3 as the serial console:
-append "console=ttyS3"
-quiet
Don't print any output, just provide an appropriate exit code.
