<p>Eleven: </p> <hr /> <div>Proposed changes:<br /> <br /> * 1.1 Clarification for this line -&gt; ''the vm doesn't need a hard drive'' - Got me confused where to install the OS? <br /> because in 3.2 there is mention of hd: 'change the boot order so that it boots from cd, then hd' <br /> <br /> * 1.3 To change this -&gt; ''choose new floppy image'' -&gt; to this: choose 'Create a blank floppy image' the way it's written on vmWorkstation..<br /> <br /> * 5.3 To expand ''setup-alpine'' by including the instructions from the topic [[Install_to_disk|Install to disk -&gt; setup-alpine]], except for the Reboot part.<br /> <br /> * Command ''grsec pax_nouderef'' returns 'command not found' (using alpine-3.3.1-x86_64.iso). Need additional instruction on how to install grsec.<br /> <br /> Thanks.</div>

<p>Eleven: </p> <hr /> <div># Create a virtual machine (linux, other 2.6 32 bit)<br /> ## the vm doesn't need a hard drive<br /> ## add a cdrom to the vm that points to the alpine iso you downloaded<br /> ## add a floppy (choose new floppy image and give it a file name to create a fake floppy image on your machine)<br /> # boot into the vm<br /> # press f2 on boot to enter the BIOS <br /> ## warning: this can be a real timing trick. I had to disconnect the cd and floppy and try several times to get into the bios screen before it started trying to network boot<br /> ## change the boot order so that it boots from cd, then hd, then floppy (or whatever - as long as cd is first)<br /> # boot the machine<br /> # now run the following commands:<br /> ## mkfs.vfat /dev/fd0<br /> ## mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy (Or try: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy)<br /> ## setup-alpine<br /> ## lbu ci floppy<br /> <br /> If the VM hangs at the boot prompt, reboot the VM, and when the boot prompt appears again, type &quot;grsec pax_nouderef&quot; and press Enter. This should allow normal boot-up. &lt;br /&gt;<br /> <br /> Now you should be able to reboot and it should retain your settings because they were saved to your floppy.<br /> <br /> For VMware Tools support you need to install the package [http://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/main/x86/open-vm-tools open-vm-tools].<br /> <br /> [[Category:Virtualization]]</div>
