Zach, If you don't mind being an Alpha tester I have have put together a bootstrap procedure for moving from Insyde BIOS to LinuxBIOS.
2 Issues with my last post: 1. I failed to attach my tarball to the last post. Which is probably a good thing I'm not if the list will be crasy over a 3 meg attachemnt. 2. It was brought to my attention that it was really too complicated. Therefore I've created a 5 meg dd copy that you can just dd out to your USB disk. Its comes complete with a copy of linuxbios.rom. All you do is: bzip2 -d bootstrap.img.bz2 dd if=bootstrap.img of=/dev/sda The stick it in the OLPC and boot. Once booted: mkdir /key mount /dev/sda1 /key cd /key olpcflash -w linuxbios.rom olpcflash -v linuxbios.rom I just don't have any where to put my 'bootstrap.img.bz2' It's 4 MiB. Zach I'll send it to you directly. -- Richard A. Smith _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
