So here is what you will have to do to run a "virtual" Bering 1/ Download the latest Bering image 2/ Download the latest UML kernel for Bering (2.4.18-21) and the corresponding modules file Both files are available in the LEAF download (1/ in the Bering section and 2/ in the Leaf_UML section). Check here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13751 Download these 3 files in a specific non root account Create a 2M minix fs dd if=/dev/zero of=bering_uml.fs bs=1M count=2 mkfs.minix bering_uml.fs mkdir temp mount -o loop bering_uml.fs ./temp Copy in this file all the lrp packages (and nothing else) also copy the initrd.lrp file in the same dir where you have your UML kernel and your bering_uml.fs Create startup script: #!/bin/sh ./linuxuml-2.4.18-21 ubd0=bering_uml.fs initrd=initrd.lrp root=/dev/ram0 \ init=/linuxrc boot=/dev/ubd0:minix PKGPATH=/dev/ubd0 devfs=nomount \ LRP=root,etc,local,log,modules,shorwall
make sure your script is chmod 755 (and also UML kernel) You may also need to update the modules.lrp file with the UML modules files Executing ./linuxuml will fire up your Bering router This does not take care of network connections. Refer to the UML documentation to see how that works Good luck Jacques _______________________________________________________________ Hundreds of nodes, one monster rendering program.
