I certainly have to defer to Charles and Michael - but if you want an example, here's how I did it, based on Charles instructions in the Dachstein CD notes. Feedback or suggestions for improvement of my setup are welcome!
I have an ancient 486DX with a mere 16Mb of ram for my firewall, boot off a floppy, then read the CDROM for modules. I added the floppy drive to the PKGPATH in "syslinux.cfg" on the boot floppy, and libz.lrp to "lrpkg.cfg" as well, with the search order R (reverse search of PKGPATH, stop on first match). Here's the content of the files: # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0u1680 /mnt mount: /dev/fd0u1680 is write-protected, mounting read-only firewall: -root- # cat /mnt/syslinux.cfg display syslinux.dpy timeout 0 default linux append=load_ramdisk=1 initrd=root.lrp initrd_archive=minix ramdisk_size=12288 root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/fd0u1680,msdos PKGPATH=/dev/cdrom:iso9660,/dev/fd0u1680:msdos LRP=etc,ramlog,local,modules,dhclient,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet firewall: -root- # cat /mnt/lrpkg.cfg etc,ramlog,local,modules,dhclient,dhcpd,dnscache,weblet,ifconfig,mawk,ipsec,sshd,libz:R,tcpdump On boot, only the libz.lrp from the floppy is loaded. Now, if I can just figure out what kind of memory to put in this ancient box, I'll get enough to load bash...
