%general-entities; ]> Colo configuring Your shiny new LFS system is almost complete. One of the last things to do is ensure you can boot it. The instructions below apply only to Colbalt RaQ2/Cube2 servers. Information on boot loading for other architectures should be available in the usual resource-specific locations for those architectures. Boot loading can be a complex area. First, a few cautionary words. You really should be familiar with your current boot loader and any other operating systems present on your hard drive(s) that you might wish to keep bootable. Please make sure that you have an emergency boot disk ready, so that you can rescue your computer if, by any chance, your computer becomes unusable (un-bootable). Earlier, we compiled and installed the Cobalt boot loader software in preparation for this step. Now we will configure our system to boot using Colo. Here is a simpe default.colo to use. cat > /boot/default.colo << "EOF" #:CoLo:# # # load linux # lcd 'Booting 2.6.9...' load vmlinux-2.6.9.gz execute root=/dev/hda2 console=ttyS0,115200 ide1=noprobe EOF Included in /usr/lib/colo/examples are more examples of a default.colo file.
