If you use the `-t hd` switch of `mkbimage`, you'll get an ext2fs El-Torito HD emulation image that can be any size (I've got one here 300+ MB). You can then use `root (hd0,0)` in Grub to boot something. Also, invoking `mkbimage` with no parameters will give you some additional help messages. - --- [[Main/GregBuchholz]] - 05 Nov 2003 - -## <a name="Another_recipe_for_a_bootable_GN"> </a> Another recipe for a bootable GNU CD - -[screenshot](http:///mycelium.afraid.org/Screenshot2.png) - -### <a name="What_you_ll_need"> What you'll need </a> - -* A [stage2\_eltorito](http://mycelium.dyndns.org/stage2_eltorito) from [grub 0.95](http://www.gnu.org/software/grub) -* A [base system](http://www.update.uu.se/~ams/gnu/gnu-2004-12-04.tar.bz2) -* [iso9660fs.static](http:///mycelium.dyndns.org/iso9660fs.static) (this link is bought the farm) or just build your own, it should work with CVS - -### <a name="HowTo"> HowTo </a> - - # mkdir iso - ..(at this point untar or setup base system) - # mkdir -p iso/boot/grub - # cp iso9660fs.static iso/hurd - # cp stage2_eltorito iso/boot/grub - ..(edit iso/boot/grub/grub.conf) - # mkisofs -R -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito -no-emul-boot \ - -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o livecd.iso iso/ - -**_Note:_** The following files must **\_NOT\_** be symlinks! - -* `/boot/gnumach` -* `/hurd/iso9660fs.static` -* `/hurd/exec` -* `/lib/ld.so.1` - -## <a name="Contents_of_grub_conf"> Contents of grub.conf </a> - - timeout 60 - default 0 - - title GNU/Hurd CD - #uppermem 523648 #this may need to be set - #root (cd) - kernel /boot/gnumach root=device:hd2 #set device to your cdrom device - module /hurd/iso9660fs.static --multiboot-command-line=${kernel-command-line} \ - --host-priv-port=${host-port} --device-master-port=${device-port} \ - --exec-server-task=${exec-task} -T typed ${root} $(task-create) \ - $(task-resume) - module /lib/ld.so.1 /hurd/exec $(exec-task=task-create) - -**_Note:_** The `root (cd)` line may prevent some computers from booting the livecd. - --- [[Main/AndrewResch]] - 22 Feb 2005 |
