BUILD Run make from here, as root: it'll build a linuxrc and a monoboot binary, then make an initrd and a minimal testing rootfs, then a monoimage. Expects to find a vmlinuz here. INSTALL This partition scheme works, others may also work: three partitions, "root", "config" and "images", typically hda1/2/3. Create hda1 of say 32M, hda2 of 8M, and hda3 as the rest of the disk. Format all as ext3. Populate hda1 with this: XXX flag buildroot from busybox CVS XXX root file list /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libdl.so.2 /lib/libncurses.so.5 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /lib/libconfuse.so.0 /lib/libreadline.so.4 /lib/libdevmapper.so.1.00 /lib/libresolv.so.2 /bin/ip /bin/mount /config/ /sbin/monoboot /sbin/init // actually bash /sbin/lilo /sbin/lilo.real /sbin/mbsh /boot/sarge.bmp /boot/map /boot/boot.0340 /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1-kexec /etc/lilo.conf /etc/fstab /usr/sbin/kexec // kexec from monoimage dist. /proc/ create a /dev, copy in MAKEDEV and run MAKEDEV for std, console and hda. The kernel shouldn't require an initrd, and should include the kexec patch. chroot into that and run lilo, setting the 'boot' parameter in lilo.conf appropriately. Edit the fstab to match your actual partition layout. You should be able to boot into that and run things. Put the example mb.conf in hda2's fs, mounted on /config. Put an image file in hda3's fs, mounted on /images - call it image1.mi if you don't want to bother changing mb.conf. Boot into hda1's root, type monoboot, and you should be fired into the image.
