routeros-netinstall skillA
routeros-netinstall is agent-read markdown (skill) from tikoci/routeros-skills: MikroTik netinstall-cli for automated RouterOS device flashing. Use when: automating netinstall, writing scripts that invoke netinstall-cli, building netinstall tooling, understanding etherboot/BOOTP/TFTP protocols, working with RouterOS package files (.npk), using modescript or configure script, or when the user mentions netinstall, etherboot, or device flashing..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# RouterOS Netinstall
This skill focuses on **official Netinstall / `netinstall-cli` behavior**. `tikoci/netinstall` is a useful wrapper and source of grounded examples, but it is only one way to drive the tool.
## What `netinstall-cli` Does
Netinstall reinstalls RouterOS onto a device that has booted into **etherboot** mode. The Linux tool, `netinstall-cli`, listens for BOOTP requests and then sends the RouterOS boot image and selected `.npk` packages.
Grounded behavior from MikroTik docs:
- Netinstall **re-formats the system drive**
- It **does not erase the RouterOS license key**
- It **does not reset RouterBOOT settings**
- It works over a direct **Layer 2** path using **BOOTP/DHCP ports** and **TFTP**
- It requires **root / sudo**
`netinstall-cli` is the Linux command-line variant. The Windows GUI exposes nearly the same core options.
## Command Syntax
```text
netinstall-cli [-r] [-e] [-b] [-m [-o]] [-f] [-v] [-c]
[-k <keyfile>] [-s <userscript>] [-sm <modescript>]
[--mac <mac>] {-i <interface> | -a <client-ip>} [PACKAGES...]
```
## Flags
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `-r` | Reinstall and apply the default-configuration stage |

How to install
mdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-netinstall@git:20260417.77838abmdr add tikoci/routeros-skills/routeros-netinstall@sha256:b7f9f78a4dade662Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
