RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Section Number and Name: 
IV. 21.1.1

Describe the issue: Configuration locations incorrect, conflicting systemctl instructions, and unclear directions for obtaining boot files. This is true for both RHEL 7 and 7.2 Beta as noted in the document links above.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Step 5 states:

"You now need the pxelinux.0 file from teh SYSLINUX package in the ISO image file. To access it, run the commands as root:"

It should specify the full DVD install ISO as the instructions are not correct for the netboot ISO.

Step 7 states:
"Add a configuration file named default to the pxelinux/ directory.
A sample configuration file at /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux/default might look like:"

This configuration fails, the file should be at location:

/var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux/pxelinux.cfg/default

Step 9 should only require the user to enable and start xinetd.service and dhcpd.service. Systemd is aware that xinetd will start the tftp service on demand and attempting to start/enable it errors out leading the user to believe the system is not functioning properly.

*** Bug 1289596 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Looks good to me.
