I have a RE-850 with Compact Flash and PATA 2.5" form factor HDD installed. However, both of these are zero-filled. What are the general guidelines to get JONOS running on this RE?
Boot order in BIOS is following: PCMCIA ATA Flash Card Compact Flash Primary IDE Hard Disk Ethernet As I have no "PCMCIA ATA Flash Card" in RE, I think it's smart to start with CF. Are the required steps something like this: 1) insert compact flash card(1GB) to laptop using CF-to-PC-Card adapter 2) create MBR partition table like this(CF card is associated with /dev/sdb): printf "0,1024,a5,*\n0,0\n0,0\n0,0\n;\n" | sfdisk -uM /dev/sdb ..it will make a partition in 1024MB size with "system ID" a5(FreeBSD) and make it bootable. Other three primary partitions are not used. In other words output should be something like this: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 2030 1023088+ a5 FreeBSD 3) make filesystem to this /dev/sdb1 partition using ufsutils mkfs.ufs utility: mkfs.ufs -O 1 /dev/sdb1 ..however, I'm very unsure, should I enable journaling, is volume name needed or any other more advanced filesystem options(?) 4) as I understand, now I need to install FreeBSD in order to install jinstall-xxxx.tgz bundle using pkg_add later. How to accomplish FreeBSD installation in such conditions? Which version should I install? Or are there any other possibilities to get JUNOS running on CF? regards, martin _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
