 |
|
This is a guide for installing Gentoo on Nectra X1, X1 is a head-less and cdrom-less Sparc, so you will have to netboot it. There are 2 ways to netboot either RARP/BOOTP or DHCP, I am using DCHP here
| Code: |
#Software needed on the DHCP server
emerge tftp-hpa
emerge net-misc/dhcp
#you also need a ftp/http server
#tftp image needed
wget http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img
#stage needed, please us a mirror
ftp://ftp.skynet.be/mirror/gentoo/releases/1.4_rc4/sparc/sparc64/stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.bz2
bzip2 -cd stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.bz2 |gzip -c9 > stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.gz
#put the stage1-sparc64-1.4_rc4.tar.gz in http/ftp accessible place
# on your DCHP server
vi /etc/hosts
<ip> gentoox1
mkdir /tftpboot
cp /d0/sparc/gentoo/tftpboot.img /tftpboot/
/etc/init.d/in.tftpd start
cd /etc/dhcp
cp dhcpd.conf.sample dhcpd.conf
vi dhcpd.conf
