		+	== Obtain the kernel and initial ramdisk ==
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/trusty/main/installer-armhf/current/images/generic-lpae/netboot/initrd.gz
		+	wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/trusty/main/installer-armhf/current/images/generic-lpae/netboot/vmlinuz

		+
		+	== Add the distro and profile to cobbler ==
		+	* Add the new distribution to cobbler:
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	cobbler distro add --name=ubuntu-server-1404-midway --kernel=/var/lib/tftpboot/images/ubuntu-server-1404-midway/vmlinuz --initrd=/var/lib/tftpboot/images/ubuntu-server1404-midway/initrd.gz
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	* Then create a profile:
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	cobbler profile add --name=ubuntu-server-1404-midway --distro=ubuntu-server-1404-midway
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	* And, add a preseed (or kickstart) file to the profile and run <code>cobbler sync</code>:
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	cobbler profile edit --name=ubuntu-server-1404-midway --kickstart=/var/lib/cobbler/kickstarts/ubuntu-server-arm.1404.seed
		+	cobbler sync
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	== Edit the boot arguments in the new cobbler profile ==
		+
		+	* Change the boot arguments:
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	cobbler profile edit --name ubuntu-sever-1404-midway --kopts="console=ttyAMA0 priority=critical text auto=true netcfg/choose_interface=eth0 url=http://172.28.0.2/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/ubuntu-server-1404-midway"
		+	</syntaxhighlight>
		+
		+	'''N.B.''' - URL for the preseed file as a kernel argument points to cobbler's web server. This file is placed on the web server only when the profile's 'kickstart' field is correctly populated and a <code>cobbler sync</code> has been run.
		+
		+	* Verify your profile settings:
		+	<syntaxhighlight>
		+	[root@pxe ~]# cobbler profile report --name=ubuntu-server-1404-midway
		+	Name : ubuntu-server-1404-midway
		+	TFTP Boot Files : {}
