Hello
I'm trying to get my rs6k to boot from the hard disk again....
Here is my setup:
Debian Unstable with custom built tools and kernel from MVista rsync.
I have a tftpboot kernel which works with boot net.
I want to use this kernel to boot from the disk. I have copied
it to my root directory of my rs6k. ie. /zImage.chrp-rs6k
I have four scsi devices in this box. 1 cdrom and three disks. I believe
/dev/sda corresponds to scsi id 4 Cat /proc/scsi/scsi shows them as id
3,4,5,6 (cdrom,disk1, disk2, disk3).
I hope the ids are likewise and not something weird like in sparc where id3
is "0" at boot time or something
like that.
I have three partitions, sda1 is / and linux native, sda2 is type 41 marked
bootable, sda3 is swap
At the boot prompt (accessed via F8), I have tried the following things and
none of them work:
Try 1:
setenv boot-file /zImage.chrp-rs6k
setenv boot-device /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
boot hd
Try 2:
setenv boot-file /zImage.chrp-rs6k
setenv boot-device /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL
PROTECTED]:1,/zImage.chrp-rs6k
boot hd
Try 3:
setenv boot-file /zImage.chrp-rs6k
setenv boot-device hd:4
boot hd
Other things of note:
I can get the cdrom to spin up (but it will not boot a debian ppc cd) if I
say "boot cdrom", or if I change the 4 to a 3 in
the above setenv lines. I think this proves the scsi line and id is
correct.
Also, where is a document which describes the commands of the boot
interpeter? The command help does nothing.
