    I have successfully setup a DBRL Clonezilla Server on Ubuntu 16.04.2. I am trying to clone an image to mutiple devices using PXE. These devices are headless systems that sit in server racks. I was wondering if there is anyway to configure the PXE install so that the systems start cloning as soon as they boot into the network without having to configure them on the client side using a monitor, keyboard, etc.

    You can set the boot paramater "console=ttyS1,38400n81" for example in the PXE boot parameters (/tftpboot/nbi_img/pxelinux.cfg/default).
    This is to redirect the output to serial console. Please google to find more info.
