Making a CD-ROM bootable from SRM
Get a running Alpha system with 'aboot' package installed and
a loop device support (integral or as a module - does not matter).
Here is how:
- create a directory on which you will mount, say /tmp/img
- mount this image like this:
mount -o loop redhat-6.0.axp.iso /tmp/img
- type 'mount' to see which device is really used; probably
/dev/loop0 but it maybe higher if 'loop' was in use before
- check ('ls') if 'bootlx' file is on the mounted image;
probably it will be in /tmp/img/boot/bootlx but it does not
matter where as long as it is somewhere; if nowhere in sight
you are screwed and find another image somewhere else or make
yourself one with 'mkisofs' - you have most files already in
a filesystem just mounted - copy to a writable file system,
clean TRANS.TBL files, add, recreate
- type
isomarkboot /dev/loop0 boot/bootlx
(use, of course, "real" loop device and bootlx location)
- umount /tmp/img ; rmdir /tmp/img
- you are done and you can blast that on a CD.
