12 If you want to have a debug shell before the computer switches off, remove
the comment sign before /bin/bash.
13 Make this script executable with the command chmod 755
boot/92-install.sh.
14 Create a new initial ram filesystem with the commands:
mkdir -p /srv/tftpboot
find . | cpio --quiet -H newc -o | gzip -9 -n > \
/srv/tftpboot/initrd.boot
15 Also copy the kernel to this directory:
cp ../vmlinuz /srv/tftpboot/linux.boot
The initial ram filesystem is now prepared to take two new kernel command line param-
eters. The parameter rawimage=<URL> is used to identify the location of the preload
image. Any URL that is understood by wget can be used. The parameter
rawdevice=<device> is used to identify the block device for the harddisk on the
target machine.
19.2.4 Boot Server Configuration
The configuration of the boot server is covered in detail in several different chapters
as listed in Section 19.2.1, "Setup a Boot and Install Server"
should give a check list that covers steps that are at least necessary to configure the
system.
