Hi All!
I wanted modified JAILBAIT (enhanced LEM) - to start off from Flashdisk
(/dev/hda1)
I have been working on HDD to get the image off first and then transfer to
FLASH DISK
( I have and exact replica of Flash disk on partition 1 of HDD 1 - 16 MB)
I have managed to boot it off from a partition on Std. HDD (32 MB) with all
files.
Now to compress file system i have tar'ed and then compressed using gzip (to
use zcat)
LILO creates a RAMDISK and the compressed image is to be transfered (zcat
img.gzip > /dev/ram0)
then it has to mount that ramdisk as rw root file system (only one
partition)
I am facing at this time a problem
Since i need to do some processing .. i need an initial initrd.img to get
going.
Now when i boot from the image on HDD it created ramdisk and is able to find
ext2 fs on ramdisk
but comes out with an error
try passing init=
argument
i try to pass /linuxrc (of initrd img) as an argument .. it fails cant find
it
I manually mount the initrd image and try to see the content of /linuxrc on
initrd.img it seems to be a binary
where as i had initially typed in text the steps to get image transfered to
ramdisk
Is this a problem / is it usual ..
In case so .. what is the solution else Could anyone suggest .. what changes
need to be made
--------------------------
As this would be the only OS do i still need a boot loader such as LILO/
GRUB or is there a better way of getting started for FLASH FILE SYSTEMS
regards
