Phil, Are you trying to actually IPL from the CD reader in the HMC? Or something else? Let me know specifically, and I'll see if I can help.
All methods of IPLing the installation kernels involve the same three files: kernel parmfile initrd (ramdisk) Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Howard Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 2:09 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: boot disk for Slack390 Under the link "boot disk" on the Slack390 site, it describes setting up the initial boot/IPL to install Slack390. But only refers to tape and card reader. How can I do this from CDROMs? Other documentation tells about the format for emulating a tape on CDROM, but it omits one crucial piece of info, which is what names from the "tapes" directory on the CD will be used when booting that CD. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - | Phil Howard KA9WGN | http://linuxhomepage.com/ http://ham.org/ | | (first name) at ipal.net | http://phil.ipal.org/ http://ka9wgn.ham.org/ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
