a) Pick a workstation... most any workstation... reboot with floppy...
edit configuration files... backup.... remove floppy... reboot to normal
working environment. This is probably the easiest way to edit initrd.lrp
if you don't have a keyboard/monitor for your SBC... it is a compressed
minix image, unlike the rest of the .lrp files.
b) Mount floppy (msdos)... make working directory on your hd... "tar xzvf
modules.lrp" (for example)... edit files... return to working
directory... "tar c * | gzip -9 >../modules.lrp" ... copy ../modules.lrp
back to floppy... unmount floppy. The "-9" compression level used to be
required... I don't know if it still is.
See /usr/sbin/lrcfg.back.script and /usr/sbin/lrcfg.back.initrd to see how
Bering does it.
