Using a USB Flash Device

For HP Integrity servers to boot from a USB flash device, the boot loader and all other files needed

2. Format the USB flash device with FAT file system:
mkdosfs -I /dev/sda1
3. Create a directory and mount the USB flash device on this directory:
mkdir
4. Create the bootable directory for HP Integrity servers (/efi/boot):
mkdir
5. Copy the boot files from the toolkit tar file to the /mnt/efi/boot directory:
bootia64.efi
elilo.conf (bootloader options)
rootfs.gz (Linux file system)
linux (Linux kernel)
elilo.efi
bootia64.conf
