What would be the easiest way to setup PXE booting Openelec from scratch on Unraid? 

 

I have read so many posts and tried so many different programs such as:

I can get them to boot .iso files ok but have had no luck importing OpenElec.

 

Looks like people have this working from their unraid boxes.  I run DHCP from my router w/tomato firmware.  I would like to be able to PXE boot Openelec on a foxconn NT-330i which is ION based.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

 

I did find this post:  http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27234.0

 

I am a little confused at this point and was looking for a setup from scratch on unraid.

Got it working...  using the above thread.

I actually moved away from running TFTP on my unraid box.  I have a dedicated Window Server 2008 box that I use to manage my ESXi box and just installed TFTP32 on that (actually...TFTP64) since I am much more of a Windows guy.  I also wanted the ability to PXE boot unRAID.  In a perfect world I would love to find a way to use my ESXi box as the PXE server but I have yet to find a way to do it.

 

Glad you were able to get it to work though.  Updating openelec is a snap and no hard drive required.
