RE: [leaf-user] syslinux question: putting bering on a diskonchip
I am using a linux rescue disk to copy over a bering distribution to the disk-on-chip device. Both the fdisk utility and syslinux seem to recognize /dev/hda1 as the IDE drive. Any way, I'll try to create a bering disk for which I have incorporated the ide drivers into initrd.lrp. I didn't do that yet, as I would have to remove some other package on the bering floppy in order for the larger initrd.lrp package to fit. Maybe by following the instructions more faithfully it'll work out. However, I am concerned that syslinux (version 2.04) keeps stating something about /tmp. -Original Message- From: John Mullan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 10:10 AM To: Marc E.

On my old RedHat 7.3 I have installed LTSP, a thin-client terminal server package. This allows me to boot any old piece of junk on my local LAN as a thin client. I hacked the base LTSP installation so the thin-clients run with a modified /etc/passd - with an entry for a root login. Now it is completely trivial to bring along any i386 LEAF router, plug into LAN, etherboot/PXE boot as a thin terminal (local HDD/DOM not used), load IDE modules, mount DOM, and copy across what ever I need, unmount, sync, reboot, test. Dead easy, and fast. Further hacking of the LTSP code would likely render a complete development environment for DOM-type routers. /niiice/. If anyone wants to build such a thing, I would be happy to assist as I know LTSP quite well. I'm a bit busy to do it ALL myself right now. 8-) http://ltsp.org http://k12ltsp.org THINK Püntenstrasse 39 8143 Stallikon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Fingerprint: BC9A 25BC 3954 3BC8 C024 8D8A B7D4 FF9D 05B8 0A16 --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The best thread debugger on the planet.

My IDE drive is a 64MB SanDisk diskonchip module. When I execute the syslinux /dev/hda1 (or syslinux -s /dev/hda1) command I always get a warning message about something with permissions being possibly set wrong for /tmp. When I attempt to boot the system with the IDE drive, it says it is missing the operating system. The linux kernel file is there, so I assume this is a syslinux issue. After mounting /dev/hda1 I don't see the ldlinux.sys file, and I am not even sure this should be there. Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated.
