| | #REDIRECT [[Create a Bootable Device]] |
| | |
| Starting with Alpine Linux 1.9, the ISO image is (mostly) compatible with Compact Flash. These instructions assume you are starting with a running Linux System (Alpine Linux 1.8.x, debian, Gentoo, Redhat, etc.)
| |
| | |
| * [[Downloads|Download]] a iso-file containing Alpine
| |
| * Insert the Compact Flash Card, and format as vfat; for example:
| |
| mkdosfs /dev/sda1
| |
| syslinux /dev/sda1
| |
| * Mount the iso, and copy the files to the CF Card:
| |
| su
| |
| mkdir loopfs
| |
| mount alpine-1.9*.iso loopfs
| |
| mount /media/sda1
| |
| cp -av loopfs/* /media/sda1
| |
| umount loopfs
| |
| * Change the syslinux.cfg on the Compact Flash Card
| |
| Most cards are mounted as IDE drives (sda1) and not as usbdrives. Edit /media/sda1/syslinux.cfg and replace ''usbdrive'' with ''sda1''
| |
|
| |
| '''Also, many CF card readers don't support DMA correctly, so you may need to add ''nodma'' to the ''append'' line.'''
| |
| | |
| == boot Alpine ==
| |
| | |
| * Insert the CF Card and reboot.
| |
| | |
| When your computer has booted you will get prompted for a username.<BR>
| |
| On a clean AlpineLinux you just enter ''root'' and no password and you will get logged on to your Alpine linux.
