I did it! :) Now I have a hardware tester CD that boots in <10 seconds. I used http://syslinux.zytor.com/iso.php and initrd(4) for reference.
initrd.img is the 'gzip -9' of an ext2 fs. isolinux.cfg should have 'rw' on the command line (no need to check a RAM fs) and 'root=/dev/ram0' otherwise the kernel will complain about the lack of I used statically busybox for almost everything and static binaries for the proprietary stuff. No libc at all! I made my /sbin/init an 'ash' script, with 'ash' provided by busybox. Make sure you do something at the end, like run ash again, or else you get a kernel panic when you 'fall of the edge.' _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
