| | #REDIRECT [[Create a Bootable Device]] |
| | |
| This document applies to Alpine Linux 1.9.0 or later.
| |
| | |
| === Requirements ===
| |
| In order to follow this document, you will need:
| |
| * Alpine Linux CD-ROM ([[Downloads|Download]] a .iso file containing an Alpine release.)
| |
| * Computer with CF card reader
| |
| * CF card
| |
| ** '''Note:''' Some CF card readers have problems with the faster CF cards on the market. If you experience problems booting the CF card even after checking BIOS settings, you may need to use an older card.
| |
| | |
| If you already have a running Linux system (Alpine Linux 1.8.x, Debian, Gentoo, RedHat, etc.), log in as root, insert the Alpine Linux CD-ROM into the running Linux computer, and skip the next section.
| |
| | |
| == Boot Alpine Linux CD-ROM ==
| |
| # Insert the Alpine Linux CD into a computer.
| |
| # Boot the computer from the Alpine Linux CD-ROM.
| |
| #* This step may require changes to the BIOS settings to select booting from CD.
| |
| # Login with the username ''root''. No password is needed.

| == Modify syslinux.cfg for Compact Flash Card ==
| |
| | |
| Most cards are mounted as IDE drives (sda1) and not as usbdisks. Therefore, edit /media/sda1/syslinux.cfg and replace ''usbdisk'' with ''sda1''
| |
| | |
| ''Also, many CF card readers don't support DMA correctly, so you may need to add ''nodma'' to the ''append'' line.''
