| Experience with bootstrapping 1.7.17 Alpine Linux on a CF card for PC Engines ALIX.3C2 LX800 (This information is based on the Soekris instructions)
| |
| | |
| We assume our CF reader is at /dev/sdb, with a 512+ MB CF formatted card loaded and will be mounted on /mnt/flash. We also assume root priviledges.
| |
| | |
| export FLASHDEVICE=/dev/sdb1
| |
| export MNT=/mnt/flash
| |
| | |
| First, we download the latest usbdrive tarball
| |
| | |
| wget http://dev.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v1.7/usbdrive/alpine-1.7.17-i386.tar.gz
| |
| | |
| and unpack it on our CF card
| |
| | |
| mount $FLASHDEVICE $MNT
| |
| tar xzf ../alpine-1.7.17-i386.tar.gz -C $MNT
| |
| | |
| Next step is to tell syslinux and the kernel we are using a serial console. We do so by creating a custom syslinux.cfg
| |
| | |
| cat > $MNT/syslinux.cfg <<EOF
| |
| serial 0 115200
| |
| timeout 0
| |
| default generic-alix
| |
|
| |
| label generic-alix
| |
| kernel /kernel/generic/bzImage
| |
| append initrd=/kernel/generic/hd-ext3.gz rw alpine_dev=hda1:vfat root_dev=none:tmpfs alpine_base=base.tar.bz2 pkg_dev=hda1:vfat pkg_subdir=/apks cfg_dev=hda1:vfat modloop=/kernel/generic/modloop.cmg console=ttyS0,115200
| |
| EOF
| |
| | |
| Finally, we make the CF bootable
| |
| | |
| syslinux $FLASHDEVICE
| |
| umount alpine
| |
| | |
| | |
| Insert the flash card, and boot:
