     7A few more things to note about how the config is done when building the image.

     10 1. Even though the version of the kernel source tree is
     11    specified in the make file, the build process does not
     12    use the kernel config file that was downloaded from the
     13    mirror. Instead it uses the file named
     14    {{{
     15    linux-omf-pxe-#.#.#.config
     16    }}}
     17    in the directory:
     18    {{{
     19    /root/pxe/omf/pxe/config
     20    }}}
     21 2. the same is true for the busy box, I think it uses the file:
     22    {{{
     23    busybox-winlab.config
     24    }}}
     25 3. Finally the startup script rcS.actual will be copied to the init-ram-fs and run as part
     26    of the pxe preOS sequence. We recently modified that file to have it poll NTP and
     27    correct the system clock. We added the following lines:
     28    {{{
     29    /usr/sbin/ntpd -d -n -q -p consolec
     30    /sbin/hwclock --directisa -w
     31    }}}
