Create the VM in PXE mode (even though we won't be using PXE to boot this). {F42276} Make sure you manually allocate custom storage instead of letting the wizard create a volume for you. {F42277} {F42278} Finally, make sure you check the "Customise configuration before install" checkbox. {F42282} Under Overview: * Give the VM a title and description * Change the firmware to UEFI Under Boot options: * Enable Direct Kernel Boot * {F42269} * Kernel path: `/srv/samba/storage/share/Software/Operating Systems/Ubuntu/Installer/linux` * Initial ramdisk path: `/srv/samba/storage/share/Software/Operating Systems/Ubuntu/Installer/initrd.gz` * Kernel commandline: `auto=true url=autoinstall.scimonshouse.net priority=critical` Under NIC: * Grab the MAC address of the interface. Now, provision the host in DHCP (`/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf`): `host my-vm.scimonshouse.net { hardware ethernet 52:54:00:d1:a3:c5; option host-name my-vm; }` Remember to restart `isc-dhcp-server`. Hit the "Begin installation" button. Once the installation has completed, the VM should power down. Change the kernel and initrd paths to whatever is current, and set the commandline to: `init=/sbin/root root=/dev/hostname-vg/root quiet` (where `hostname` is the hostname set in DHCP.
