Hi,
I'm planning to include a patch to arcboot-installer,
for #241178, which posts a reminder note about prom variables.
(Assuming joeyh says ok).
Before I go stressing out all the translators, can people please
review the English version below?
Template: arcboot/prom_variables
Type: note
Description: Setting PROM variables for Arcboot
If this is your first Linux installation on this machine, or if you have
repartitioned your hard drives, you will need to set certain variables
in the PROM before the system will boot normally.
.
At the end of this installation phase, you will reboot your system. When
you do, select "Stop for Maintenance", then press "5" to enter the command
monitor. There, type the following commands:
.
setenv SystemPartition
scsi(${abootbus})disk(${abootid})rdisk(${abootlun})partition(8)
setenv OSLoadPartition
scsi(${arootbus})disk(${arootid})rdisk(${arootlun})partition(${arootpart})
setenv OSLoader arcboot
setenv OSLoadFilename Linux
.
You will only need to do this once. Afterwards, type "boot" or reboot the
system to proceed.
Regards,
Alastair McKinstry
