Creating The Cd Iso Image - Novell SLRS 8 Admin Manual

12 Preparing a CD-ROM Boot Image
The examples below show two typical examples of the config.image file. One
using a RAM disk (/dev/ram1) into the minimal image will be loaded in-
stalling on diskless POS clients and a second example using a hard disk drive
(/dev/hda) where the partition /dev/hda2 will be used as root file system for
the browser image on diskful POS systems.
Example 1:
IMAGE=/dev/ram1;minimal;1.1.7
CONF=XF86Config;/etc/X11/XF86Config
FEATURE=set_serial
Example 2:
IMAGE=/dev/hda2;browser;1.1.2
CONF=XF86Config;/etc/X11/XF86Config
PART=200;S;x,900;L;/,x;L;/home
DISK=/dev/hda
As shown in the examples above, the CR configuration file config.image defines
the XF86Config file in its CONF statement. All the files configured in the CONF
statement must be available within the CD-ROM setup directory. For the ex-
ample above, this means the file must exist in the directory /tmp/cdsetup/XF86Config.

12.2 Creating the CD ISO Image

If the CD setup directory has been prepared correctly, the ISO image can be
created in two steps:
1. Create the cdboot image using the feature module POSBootCD. This fea-
ture will create the cash register image and it requires the CD setup di-
rectory as parameter. Here is an example for the required scr statement:
scr prepare
feature boot_cd:config=/tmp/cdsetup
destdir /tmp/mycd
How does scr work? The src tool creates the cdboot image and the cash
register image as specified using the data of the image desription tree
/tmp/cdsetup and saves all created images to the destination directory
/tmp/mycd.
