- First, you have to setup a PXE server. You may refer to this doc.
- We'd like to change the default password ("live") to another one, e.g. "iloveclonezilla". By running this on GNU/Linux (e.g. Clonezilla live) command line prompt:
mkpasswd -m sha-256 iloveclonezilla
$5$QF6o03o/iNM7NEnk$Ba6QZrT055.T1tFIL.CKwjwLt04TBqpCcjprKdWOGS5
Then you get the encrypted password "$5$QF6o03o/iNM7NEnk$Ba6QZrT055.T1tFIL.CKwjwLt04TBqpCcjprKdWOGS5", so later we can use usercrypted=$5$QF6o03o/iNM7NEnk$Ba6QZrT055.T1tFIL.CKwjwLt04TBqpCcjprKdWOGS5 (Remember to use backslash to escape dollar sign if you use grub, i.e., usercrypted=\$5\$QF6o03o/iNM7NEnk\$Ba6QZrT055.T1tFIL.CKwjwLt04TBqpCcjprKdWOGS5). We want Clonezilla to restore the image "lenny-i386-partclone" (which is on a NFS server) to client's disk hda. The complete session of Clonezilla live
---------------------------------------------

APPEND initrd=initrd1.img boot=live union=aufs nolocales vga=788 ip= noprompt usercrypted=$5$QF6o03o/iNM7NEnk$Ba6QZrT055.T1tFIL.CKwjwLt04TBqpCcjprKdWOGS5 fetch=tftp://192.168.120.254/Clonezilla-live-filesystem.squashfs ocs_daemonon="ssh" keyboard-layouts=NONE ocs_live_batch="no" locales="en_US.UTF-8" ocs_prerun="mount -t nfs 192.168.120.254:/home/partimag /home/partimag" ocs_live_run="screen ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 --batch -j2 -p reboot restoredisk lenny-i386-partclone hda"
---------------------------------------------
- Then after client machine is booted via PXE, you can ssh login into it with account user and passwd "iloveclonezilla", then:
- sudo -i
- screen -x
You are in the screen session now. You should be able to see the restoring process before it's rebooted.
For more boot parameters, please refer to this doc.
