I don't understand you. What do you mean by `boot a clean system'?
Perhaps I should point out that my /etc/modprobe.d/istallion is the
following:
options istallion board0=ONboard,0x240,0xe0000
install istallion /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install istallion; \
/usr/local/bin/stallion/stlload \
-i /usr/local/bin/stallion/2681.sys
The hardware will not be fully functional without the 2681.sys firmware.
I think that when I boot with
root=/dev/sdb1 ro console=tty0 console=ttyS1,9600n8 init=/bin/bash
I get a prompt from the initrd. And /usr is not mounted. With this way
of booting, the system will restart after a `reboot -f' if I don't
`modprobe istallion', and won't restart if I do `modprobe istallion'.
It might be worth pointing out that even without the firmware, the
istallion module can tell whether it did or didn't find the hardware.
