Installing EFA 4 Beta on Hyper-V 2016
I posted this in another thread but thought I would make it easier for people to find.
Download CentOS 7 Minimal ISO
https://www.centos.org/download/
Create a Gen1 VM
2 Cores
1024 Mb RAM
Std network connection
20Gb+ HD, the vhdx file will be less than 2Gb after install
Mount the Centos .ISO to install OS.
Start the VM and from the console -
If you get a prompt "boot:" hit enter and that takes you to the next screen.
The install screen asks to
"Install CentOS 7"
Instead hit "Tab"
This brings up a the string used to configure install
Append this to the end of the string.
inst.ks=http://dl.efa-project.org/build/4/kstesting.cfg
Hit enter and the install will take it from there.
If all goes well at the end you will see…
Performing Post-installation setup tasks
Writing network configuration
Creating Users
Configuring addons
Generating initramfs
Running post-installation scripts.
The VM will then shut down.
At this point Eject the ISO
Start the VM and you will greeted by “Welcome to eFa-4.0.0”
Login and it will ask you to "Start eFa first-time configure"
That’s it!
My Hats Off to the EFA team for all there hard work!
