Linux - Debian—Distributions
At this point the Base Installation is complete and the board should reboot to the RedBoot prompt.
When wanting to install to a locally attached hard disk, a similar procedure can be used with
changes as follows:
•
In step 2 above, the installer should detect the hard disk and prompt for a partition and format
the disk rather than having to enter NFS information.
•
Additional installation steps may be useful depending on the needs; swap disks, additional
partitions, etc.
•
The workarounds in steps 5, 6, and 15 are not necessary.
•
It is necessary to create the resolv.conf file on the disk.
To boot the new Debian NFS root based system, issue the following commands at the RedBoot
prompt:
RedBoot> lo -r -v -b {kernel-load-addr} /zImage.iq80331
RedBoot> exec {kernel-run-addr}
The default Kernel command line parameters are setup for a Root NFS based system, with the NFS
root directory name being taken from the DHCP server. The kernel command line parameters can
be modified from the RedBoot prompt. The following example will use a locally attached disk as
the Root File system. When the disk is not sda1, it is necessary to modify this as appropriate for the
setup.
RedBoot> lo -r -v -b {kernel-load-addr} /zImage.iq80331
RedBoot> exec {kernel-run-addr} -c "ip=bootp root=/dev/sda1
console=ttyS0,115200 cachepolicy=writealloc"
