(The motorola boards are sometimes referred to as PowerPlus) + +To build a bootable CD, you will first need a kernel image for your +machine. Put the image somewhere in the filesystem you want +to generate and ISO9660 image from. + +The '-B' or '-prep-boot' flags are used to specify the image file +to use. The path must be relative to the root of the CD filesytem, +NOT from the current directory. + +For example: to make an image of /tmp/cd and use the image file +/tmp/cd/zImage, (with rock ridge extensions) use: + +mkhybrid -r -B zImage /tmp/cd -o cd.img + +Since there are four entries for bootable 'partitions', I have +allowed up to 4 different images to be used. This might be +usefull if one has need of different kernel images for different +machines on the same CD. + +The first image will be in the first partition entry, so if one +uses: + +mkhybrid -r -B zImage1 -B zImage2 -B zImage3 -B zImage4 /tmp/cd + +This will result in 4 bootable images. To boot off the first image +from PPCbug, use 'pboot 0 41' from the ppcbug> prompt. +(assuming the CDROM is at SCSI ID 4.. replace the 4 with the SCSI +ID of the CDROM if not.) The second image is at 'pboot 0 42', etc. + +There should not be any conflicts with any of the HFS or hybrid +functions, since the space used by the PReP partition maps is +unused by anything else. If fact, the goal is to make a CD +bootable on both Mac's and PReP machines ;) + +For any questions contact me at one of the following addresses: +troy@microux.com +troy@blacklablinux.com +hozer@drgw.net |
