Re: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD
Hello, But coming back to the original question, if Bering does not fit on one single floppy, how to proceed to build a bootable CD-ROM using the multiple floppies ?

Edit syslinux.cfg, replace /dev/fd0u1680 by /dev/fd0, add an entry after init=/linuxrc , 'diskwait=yes'. also, add additional .lrp files to LRP= line Try to boot this floppy set.

RE: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD
Using multiple floppies enables you to thorougly test your setup. Then after you have everything working as you like, you can go to the next step, where you will burn the CD. -Original Message- From: Christian HOSTELET [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 5:11 PM To: Luis.F.Correia; 'Przemyslaw Rudy' Cc: LEAF Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD Hello, But coming back to the original question, if Bering does not fit on one single floppy, how to proceed to build a bootable CD-ROM using the multiple floppies ?

Re: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD
OK Luis, But I can't believe that the content of the two or more floppies can be simply copied to a CD to make it bootable and have a Bering system boots up. That would be too easy :-) Some questions come to my mind: * Should I add other modules (ide.lrp, a cd-rom driver, etc...) ? * How to modify syslinux.cfg ? (what is the device name instead of the usual /dev/fd0u1680 ?) As anyone done this process and wants to share experience ?

RE: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD
Cristian, do not bother yet to put it all on a CD. Instead, wait for the proper instrucions. I'm working closely with Jacques in order to bring you the best info. Meanwhile test everithing using the 2 floppy setup. you should have over 800K more in the second floppy to fill up with more packages. So, it is my opinion that one should not rush into burning the files onto the CD. I have a lot of real work to do now. This is as you know, easter week. Everyone wants all done before the end of the week, and my attention is towards real work. Since this will be a long weekend, I hope to have everything done by then. Please be patient. -Original Message- From: Christian HOSTELET [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 5:43 PM To: Luis.F.Correia; LEAF Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD OK Luis, But I can't believe that the content of the two or more floppies can be simply copied to a CD to make it bootable and have a Bering system boots up.

Re: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD
It's just that my system is ready with the two floppies and I would like to generate a CD. But I'm not in hurry... CS You might take a look at the Dachstein CD, to see how it's done. I suggest using CD-RW disks until you get something close to working, unless you like having lots of coasters! You will need to add the IDE, CD-ROM, and ISO-FS modules to your root ramdisk image, and get linuxrc to load them before it tries to install pacakges. There are hooks for this in the Dachstein init scripts, but I'm not sure if these are still there in bering (I really need to find time to get a bering system up running). You should start by trying to make a bootable floppy disk that can load packages from the CD-ROM disk. The CD-ROM boots by using a floppy disk image, so once you get your system booting with a floppy CD setup, you can burn a bootable CD using your floppy as a boot image.

RE: [Leaf-user] RE: Bering from CD
Your instructions are close enough for Bering. But... I will use isolinux to boot it directly from the CD. My test setup is looking good. I have some bugs still... Over the weekend all will be uncovered. Even if I don't get around my bugs, I'll publish the results.
