These 8 floppy image's contain almost complete support for getting all your hardware going on a Intel i386/i486/i586/i686 Pentium Pro and Pentium II system. Network, SCSI , filesystem and PCMCIA support is included. I use these images always first when I get a new Intel system in front of me. cdboot.img : Can be used to make bootable Eltorito CDROM using the FD 2.88 Mb floppy emulation. Take benefit of it. Just use mkisofs with eltorito support to include this image as the boot image. cdboot.img actually boots boot2036.img and loads rootrh51.img using initrd. Works quite nice. boot2036.img : the boot floppie, boots linux kernel 2.0.36 root42.img : comes next and loads a redhat 4.2 runtime as a ram disk. It needs at least 8 Mb RAM. If you have only 8 Mb RAM and want to use the support images, then for instance mount first a filesystem (e.g. msdos) and install a swapfile : login as root, no password required :) # mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/swapfile bs=1024 count=8192 # mkswap /mnt/swapfile 8192 # sync # swapon /mnt/swapfile rootrh51.img : is the same as root.img but loads a full featured redhat 5.1 runtime as a ramdisk. You can just use rootrh51.img together with the other images. It has the same functionality as root.img but with the following additional features : vim ftp ps rlogin telnet (tiny telnet) color-ls complete e2fsprog kit This image already contains its insmod end rmmod binary's and uses glibc2 (libc6). suppnet.img : contains modules to load : - network cards : 3c501.o bpqether.o eql.o ni52.o smc-ultra32.o 3c503.o bsd_comp.o eth16i.o ni65.o smc9194.o 3c505.o de4x5.o ewrk3.o pcnet32.o soundmodem.o 3c507.o de600.o fmv18x.o pi2.o strip.o 3c509.o de620.o hdlcdrv.o plip.o tlan.o 3c515.o depca.o hp-plus.o ppp.o tulip.o 3c59x.o dgrs.o hp.o pt.o via-rhine.o 8390.o dlci.o hp100.o rcpci.o wavelan.o ac3200.o dummy.o ibmtr.o rtl8139.o wd.o apricot.o e2100.o lance.o sdla.o yellowfin.o arcnet.o eepro.o mkiss.o shaper.o at1700.o eepro100.o ne.o slhc.o atp.o eexpress.o ne2k-pci.o slip.o baycom.o epic100.o new_tunnel.o smc-ultra.o suppfs.img : contain modules to load : - filesystems : affs.o nls_cp855.o nls_cp874.o nls_koi8_r.o autofs.o nls_cp857.o nls_iso8859_1.o smbfs.o ext.o nls_cp860.o nls_iso8859_2.o sysv.o hpfs.o nls_cp861.o nls_iso8859_3.o ufs.o ncpfs.o nls_cp862.o nls_iso8859_4.o umsdos.o nls_cp437.o nls_cp863.o nls_iso8859_5.o vfat.o nls_cp737.o nls_cp864.o nls_iso8859_6.o xiafs.o nls_cp775.o nls_cp865.o nls_iso8859_7.o nls_cp850.o nls_cp866.o nls_iso8859_8.o nls_cp852.o nls_cp869.o nls_iso8859_9.o - cdrom drivers (non-scsi and non-atapi) : aztcd.o cdu31a.o gscd.o mcd.o optcd.o sjcd.o cdrom.o cm206.o isp16.o mcdx.o sbpcd.o sonycd535.o - IPV4 : ip_alias.o ip_masq_irc.o ip_masq_vdolive.o ip_masq_cuseeme.o ip_masq_quake.o ipip.o ip_masq_ftp.o ip_masq_raudio.o rarp.o suppscsi.img : contains modules to load : - SCSI cards : 53c7,8xx.o aha1542.o eata_pio.o ncr53c8xx.o t128.o AM53C974.o aha1740.o fdomain.o pas16.o tmscsim.o BusLogic.o aic7xxx.o g_NCR5380.o ppa.o u14-34f.o NCR53c406a.o dtc.o gdth.o qlogicfas.o ultrastor.o advansys.o eata.o in2000.o qlogicisp.o wd7000.o aha152x.o eata_dma.o megaraid.o seagate.o suppmisc.img : contains modules to load : - Misc drivers (o.a. isdn) appletalk.o capiutil.o ftape.o ktti.o pd.o aten.o comm.o hisax.o lp.o pf.o atixlmouse.o cyclades.o icn.o misc.o pg.o ax25.o dstr.o ipx.o msbusmouse.o psaux.o b1pci.o epat.o isdn.o netrom.o rose.o bpck.o epia.o isdnloop.o on20.o sc.o busmouse.o fit2.o isicom.o on26.o scc.o capi.o fit3.o kbic.o pcbit.o specialix.o capidrv.o frpw.o kernelcapi.o pcd.o pcmcia.img : contains PCMCIA stuff and util binary's for redhat42 en redhat51: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 56544 Apr 14 00:28 find* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 24324 Apr 14 00:29 more* drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Apr 20 17:56 pcmcia/ Getting the network going : 1. # mkdir /usr/tmp 2. # vi /etc/hosts (plug in your ip numbers and host names) 3. mount suppnet.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/sbin # cp insmod /sbin (only for redhat42 runtime) # cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts # cp ifcfg-eth0.org ifcfg-eth0 # vi ifcfg-eth0 (plug your ip number and netmask and broadcast address) # cd /floppy/modules/net # insmod 3c509.o ( if your NIC is such a card ) # cd /etc/rc.d/init.d # ./network stop ; ./network start # ping hostname ( ping some host on the network ) Getting SCSI going : 1. mount suppscsi.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/sbin # cp insmod /sbin (only for redhat42 runtime) # cd /floppy/modules/scsi # insmod aic7xxx.o ( if you have a aha2940 scsi card) Getting PCMCIA going : 1. mount pcmcia.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/redhat51/pcmcia # cp -ap * / & check youre /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia config file # /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start Getting FAT32 going : 1. mount suppfs.img : # mount /dev/fd0 /floppy # cd /floppy/sbin # cp insmod /sbin (only for redhat42 runtime) # cd /floppy/modules/fs # insmod nls_cp437.o # insmod nls_iso8859-1.o # insmod vfat.o # mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt ( If hda1 contains a FAT32 filesystem) Getting XXX going : E-Mail me at stock@sba.nl or at stock@InfoMagic.NL Robert M.
