[parisc-linux] boot c3k from local scsi

[Grant Grundler]

Hi all,

I managed to setup/boot my c3k via NFS Root.
I'm using an add-on serial card as console since built-in serial
isn't working (yet).

Partitioning an 18GB disk was a problem. Both PALO and IODC have
limitations on where the PALO and boot filesystem partitions can reside.
Read the PALO docs at
	http://puffin.external.hp.com/cgi-bin/cvsview/palo/README.html
for details. It's a good, short, document.

Here's my resulting fdisk output:
Disk /dev/sda: 64 heads, 32 sectors, 17366 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1             1        11     11248   f0  Unknown
/dev/sda2            12        32     21504   83  Linux
/dev/sda3            33       545    525312   82  Linux swap
/dev/sda4           546      4642   4195328   83  Linux


and /etc/fstab contents:
# <file system> <mount> <type>  <options>                       <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda4       /       ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro      0       0
/dev/sda3       none    swap    sw                              0       0
/dev/sda2       /boot   ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro      0       0
proc            /proc   proc    defaults                        0       0


Oh - the palo command I used to get this work might be good
to pass on too:
	# palo -I -k /tmp/vmlinux -b /boot/iplboot \
		-c '2/vmlinux TERM=linux HOME=/ root=/dev/sda4' \
		/dev/sda

(I had copied a more current vmlinux to my NFS root's /tmp dir)

enjoy!
