RE: [PLUG] SuSe 7.3 booting
|
I solved some my problem. The best info was in the 'Hard Disk Upgrading'
How-to.
Here is what I did... To boot an IDE drive on a PCI promise DMA100 card
installed as /dev/hdf where drive is unknown in BIOS. Must boot kernel
first from floppy.
Formated a floppy - in SuSe - fdformat /dev/fd0u1440
Put on a file system - mkfs.ext2 /dev/fd0
Mount it - mount -t ext2/dev/fd0 /mnt
Copy files from SuSe /boot - cp -dp vmlinuz map boot.b chain.b /mnt
create /mnt/lilo.conf
vi /mnt/lilo.conf
boot=/dev/fd0
map=/mnt/map
install=/mnt/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/mnt/vmlinuz
label=SuSe Linux /dev/hdf
root=/dev/hdf7
read-only
Save it.
Run lilo.
lilo -C /mnt/lilo.conf
and boot the system! Viola it works.
NOW.. how can I eliminate the floppy and boot directly from the drive!!??
