I'm starting with two blank hard drives and the openSUSE-11.1-NET-x86_64 install CD.
Please can someone give me a vaguely step-by-step process of how to achieve my "/dev/md0 as /boot, /dev/md1 as /, and /dev/md2 as swap", the configuration I've been using sucessfully for so many years with previous version of (open)suse.
Disclaimer - I don't use grub, and lilo is no longer supported in YaST, so some familiarity with lilo is probably needed. It's straight forward - I installed a system like that just the other day. I prefer creating the RAIDs ahead of time, it's faster and easier than using YaST, but it'll also work very well with YaST. Step-by-step - - boot your system from CD, select an installation source. - once you're in YaST, create your RAIDs, select mount points and go. - lilo installation will fail, but swap to a console and correct the /mnt/etc/lilo.conf file (comment out the line with message=), - chmod /mnt, rerun lilo - swap back, and you're done with stage1. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.25°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
