Hi folks, Give 9.3 Suse Pro Booting from CD Installation from Network
I would like to put the file "info" with is used by linuxrc on the installation cd because using an additional floppy causes to much trouble.
But i am a little bit lost about howto do that.
Do i have to change the isolinux.cfg ?
It is easier if you do (boot/loader/isolinux.cfg) and add to the kernel command line: info=file:/myinfofile.info
Documentation tells me that the info file should be in initrd but i can not find that directory. ?
Correct. initrd is a file not a directory. It is in boot/loader/initrd. Here is how to modify it (sorry no explanations but am in big hurry): Do this as root user: mount the first cdrom somewhere and copy it to somewhere, e.g. cdrom is mounted on /mnt/cd, then do: cp -ap /mnt/cd /tmp/mycd cd /tmp/mycd/boot/loader/initrd mv initrd initrd.gz gunzip initrd.gz mkdir i mount -t minix -o loop initrd i cd i vi myinfofile.info <edit it and save and quit> cd .. umount i rmdir i gzip -9 initrd mv initrd.gz initrd Now make the cd image: cd /tmp mkisofs -o mycdimage.iso -b boot/loader/isolinux.bin -c boot/loader/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -J -r -l mycd Now burn the mycdimage.iso iso image using k3b or whatever to a CD and boot with the cd.
