Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Hi, I just got a new disk for our MVME2431 board. Up to now I was booting trough NFS using a kernel image and a root filesystem on a linux PC. Then I just copied all the files from the NFS root directory on the PC to the new disk, and after few adjustement (correction on fstab) I could have the root filesystem on the HD, uding it after boot. Now I would like to go further and boot directly from the HD, removing the needing of the PC; I looked into PPCBUG manual, finding the PBOOT command; but it require a bootable partition and a boot record, and I think that lilo did not work in these board, there is an equivalent tool? Or I can simply put the kernel image inside the NV Ram and start from there? Ok, the problem is not serious, all the other things are working well; I only would like to have a faster way to boot.
