| = If using Alpine Linux 2.2.2 or earlier =
| |
| | |
| A number of steps are nowadays included in the setup-disk and setup-lbu scripts, which are invoked by setup-alpine. But in these older systems, these steps have to be performed manually.
| |
| | |
| Run <code>setup-alpine</code> to configure the keyboard, hostname and networking.
| |
| {{Cmd|setup-alpine}}
| |
| | |
| Now for the manual steps. Create partitions with <code>fdisk</code>.
| |
| {{Cmd|fdisk /dev/sda}}
| |
| | |
| You should have 2 partitions: {{Path|/dev/sda1}} as "Linux" (type 83) and {{Path|/dev/sda2}} as "linux swap" (type 82). The {{Path|/dev/sda1}} must be bootable (command "a" within <code>fdisk</code>).
| |
| | |
| Install needed programs for the setup:
| |
| {{Cmd|apk add e2fsprogs syslinux mkinitfs}}
| |
| | |
| Create filesystem and swap:
| |
| {{Cmd|mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
| |
| mkswap /dev/sda2}}
| |
| | |
| Mount filesystem:
| |
| {{Cmd|mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt}}
| |
| | |
| Clone the current running config created by <code>setup-alpine</code> (hostname, networking root password):
| |
| {{Cmd|<nowiki>lbu package - | tar -C /mnt -zx</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Install base packages on harddisk:
| |
| {{Cmd|<nowiki>apk add --root=/mnt --initdb $(cat /etc/apk/world)</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Append the / and swap to {{Path|/etc/fstab}}:
| |
| {{Cmd|echo -e "/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults 1 1" >> /mnt/etc/fstab
| |
| echo -e "/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0" >> /mnt/etc/fstab}}
| |
| | |
| Configure the boot loader, <code>extlinux</code>. We use the provided {{Path|syslinux.cfg}} as base.
| |
| {{Cmd|cp /media/cdrom/syslinux.cfg /mnt/boot/extlinux.conf
| |
| vi /mnt/boot/extlinux.conf}}
| |
| | |
| It should contain something like:
| |
| timeout 20
| |
| prompt 1
| |
| default grsec
| |
| label grsec
| |
| kernel /boot/grsec
| |
| append initrd=/boot/grsec.gz root=/dev/sda1 modules=ext4 quiet
| |
| | |
| Install the bootloader:
| |
| {{Cmd|extlinux -i /mnt/boot}}
| |
| | |
| Install syslinux bootloader at the beginning of the MBR so its bootable (note that its <code>sda</code> and not <code>sda1</code>)
| |
| {{Cmd|<nowiki>dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sda</nowiki>}}
| |
| | |
| Unmount, remove cdrom, and reboot. (If you can't eject, just remove it manually as the machine reboots)
| |
| {{Cmd|umount /mnt
| |
| umount /.modloop
| |
| eject
| |
| reboot}}
| |
| | |
| After reboot, you should be able to log in as root with the password you created in <code>setup-alpine</code>.
