Thanks to Henning for showing me where to get the big-endian compiled
packages and it works.   Now, I need big-endian compiled "ash".
Is anybody know where I can get it?

Thanks,

Lisa

For big endian you need big endian complied packages, you can retrieve the
debian base2_2.2.tgz
under ftp.uni-mainz.de/pub/Linux/debian-local/mips, which should work fine
as nfsroot. I have some
problems with open a console beacause on Indigo2 you only have output on
the serial console.

As I understand, ash requires mush  less memory than other shells.  I am
working on an embedded system and memory is crucial to us.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hm why you need the ash? You can give the kernel the follwing via the
commandoline init=/bin/bash.

Hi, All

For using NFS boot, I've already edited the /etc/hosts, /etc/exports to add
the entry for my target board.  The command line that I use in our EPROM
based bootloader  is as follows:

root=/dev/nfs rw ip=::::::rarp console=ttyS2
nfsroot=209.243.136.151:/work/nfsroot

I need to setup the NFSROOT filesystem on the server for my target board
(which is running in Big-endian mode),  what are the steps that I have to
do?

There is a FTP site for getting RPM packages for little endian mode:

         tp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/[ig/linux/mips/mipsel-linux/RedHat-6.1/RPMS

I could not find similar one for big-endian.    Can anybody give me a
pointer to where the RPM packages reside on the web?


Thanks,

Lisa
