[parisc-linux] howto boot test kernel

[valery brasseur]

I have on old 712, I would like to make a try to linux kernel.
What did I need and how to setup things for booting the kernel, and
maybe giving some help on developpment.( I have other stations/server
under HPUX 10.20 where I can put a developement env?)

Thanks in advance.

I've tried it successfully on my 715/33 using a bootp server.
Just use the cvs-linux tree, install gcc-2.8.1 or whatever with
binutils and GNU make.
For make menuconfig you have to install ncurses too.
Just type make dep boot and copy linux/arch/parisc/boot/Image to
the path specified in bootptab and thats it.

P.S. dd if=Image of=/dev/rdsk/blafasel works too, but the first
     solution is more useful :-)

Here is how I did it:

	1) Uncomment tftp in /etc/inetd.conf

	2) Grab the kernel image and put it in /tftpboot

	3) Set up a bootp server that also specifes the name of the 
	kernel image to boot. To do this, I used dhcpd and used the
	dynamic-bootp modifier in the config file.

I also had to re-build dhcpd. It would not work on my system running the 
2.3.10 kernel.

But it worked ;)
