SuSE Linux: Version 6.1
You need an original SuSE Linux boot diskette. In particular, you need a disk that has a kernel which is compiled with a particular SCSI driver.
On the CD 1 in the /disks
directory are copies of all of
the standard boot disk images; you should read through the README
to see the contents of the disk images. The image eide01
contains the standard boot diskette. Each of the precompiled
kernels are located in the /suse/images
directory and have
the ending .ikr
.
If you need a standard boot diskette, like the one that comes with the standard SuSE Linux distribution proceed as follows:
rawrite \disks\eide01
/cdrom
directory):dd if=/cdrom/disks/eide01 of=/dev/fd0 bs=8k
This process is slightly more complicated if you need
a special SCSI kernel; If this is the case you will need to copy
the precompiled SCSI (for example ("scsi05.ikr
")
kernel onto the boot disk and write over the existing
kernel ("linux
"):
rawrite \disks\scsi01 copy \suse\images\scsi05.ikr a:\linux
/cdrom
directory):dd if=/cdrom/disks/scsi01 of=/dev/fd0 bs=8k mcopy /cdrom/suse/images/scsi05.ikr a:linux
