I'm attempting to make a serial console install disk using the
no-emulation boot sector provided. Following
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/distrib/i386/cdfs/Makefile?rev=1.7&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup,
I can see that you do a standard dirctory setup as shown below (I've
essentially just copied my 4.2 CD disk1 in this case) and I've modified
boot.conf to include the necessary "set tty com0" line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/ceidem$ ls
bsd42/
4.2 etc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/ceidem$ ls
bsd42/etc/
boot.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/ceidem$ cat
bsd42/etc/boot.conf
set image /4.2/i386/bsd.rd
set tty com0
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/ceidem$ ls
bsd42/4.2/
i386 packages
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/ceidem$ ls
bsd42/4.2/i386/
INSTALL.i386 base42.tgz bsd.rd comp42.tgz floppyC42.fs
misc42.tgz xfont42.tgz
INSTALL.linux boot.catalog cd42.iso etc42.tgz game42.tgz
pxeboot xserv42.tgz
MD5 bsd cdboot floppy42.fs index.txt
xbase42.tgz xshare42.tgz
TRANS.TBL bsd.mp cdbr floppyB42.fs man42.tgz
xetc42.tgz
I then create an ISO image using the following command:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/ceidem$ mkhybrid -a -R -T -L -d -D -N -o bsd42ser.iso
-v -v -b 4.2/i386/cdbr -c 4.2/i386/boot.catalog ./bsd42/
or I'll use
mkhybrid -R -T -o bsd42ser.iso -no-emul-boot -v -v -b 4.2/i386/cdbr -c
4.2/i386/boot.catalog ./bsd42/
on my Linux box. Either case provides a functional, bootable disk but
without the serial console. What am I misunderstanding and/or missing?
Thanks in advance,
