DOC Script for booting

Ok,
Assuming you have booted to a kernel patched for Disk on chip. *and* have formatted the Disk on chip to be visible by the BIOS *and* have loaded the "PeeWee Linux" from Adi Linden. *and* have the Lilo6_21 and boot.b6_21 from Dvir Oren

(I used embedded-0.14.tar.gz, but this should work for just the binaries too )

Just put the "doc" script in the Embedded_build directory, then type:

./doc -E /doc
./doc -f /doc

Reboot and disable the Hard disk drive *poof* should boot to the DOC (Tested with DOC 8MB / DOC 16MB and DOC Milleniumn 8MB)

Let me know if this works for you (or if you have any suggestions or bug fixes).

Enjoy,
Ralph

Adi, if this is useful, you can add this to your download page...

Hi,

I haven't tried it yet, but I added it in the Embedded_Build/script directory. I also added the patched lilo from Dvir Oren but I haven't build a package yet. Hope this is ok with both of you.

Also, I build a boot disk tonight. It's a single floppy system with a monolithic kernel. It supports the ne2000 isa card (for the PCM-4823 SBC), doc, ms-dos fat, ext2 and nfs. It also contains syslinux, the patched lilo and fdisk but no ext2 tools (no room left). The kernel and ramdisk could be ftp'd into the mounted flash (incl. ftp) or copied from a mounted nfs volume.

I've got to work a bit on remote boot and the nfs root filesystem. All I would need it to plug the SBC into the network and telnet into it once it's booted.

I am slowly getting somewhere with mtd. I am trying to upload it to the sbc tomorrow evening and see if I can access the doc2000 with it...

TTYL,
Adi
