I don't know. See PALO documentation in: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PA-RISC-Linux-Boot-HOWTO/index.html It's been easier for me to dd to a hard disk (or netboot) than figure out how to make/burn bootable parisc CDs. :^) grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

IIRC you can just burn the firmware lif image directly to a CD and boot it the same as you'd dd to a tape or hdd. BTW file(1) knows about lif images, confirm that you have a proper lif and then just burn it to CD with cdrecord or something. You mention in a later message "dd it to a virtual disc, then make it a bin image which you can translate into an ISO". I suspect that's not changing it at all since if you actually changed the lif image it probably wouldn't work anymore. Inevitably someone will ask how to do this on MS Windows. I don't know anyone who's done it but if you follow the normal method for burning hppa bootable images listed at http://www.parisc-linux.org/faq/burn_hppa_cd-howto.html it should work. -- Matt Taggart matt@lackof.org _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
