—————————The Differences!___________________________
I removed:
ocs_prerun=\"dhclient -v eth0\"
I changed This
ip=frommedia
to:
ip=eth0:192.168.200.86:255.255.255.0:192.168.200.1:8.8.8.8
Where:
ip=[DEVICE]:[IP]:[SUBNET]:[GATEWAY]:[DNS]
you may want to change in the menu entry in between $isofile & ocs_daemonon
$isofile usercrypted=Kb/VNchPYhuf6 ocs_daemonon=
To create new password use these commands
sudo apt-get install -y whois echo iloveclonezilla | mkpasswd -s
This results in current password
Kb/VNchPYhuf6
Now just access via ssh user=”user” pwd=”iloveclonezilla” port 22 etc etc.
Root can be accessed via
sudo su
This assumes clonezilla is your only extra grub entry, if more, trial and error #4
sudo nano ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc alias czilla="sudo grub-reboot 4 && sudo reboot"
This reboots server with CloneZilla Live ISO in RAM with all disks unmounted!
