Building a file system ( Ramdisk)
Hi everybody,
I'm a Linux newbie I'm trying to build a Diskless system: I've a PC able to boot from the Network using the PXE and pxelinux on a remote server using tftp at this stage I've configured the server and the client an it's OK. my PC while booting can download a kernel image and a ramdisk, I'm using the following config in the server : --------------------------------- prompt 1 default linux timeout 30 label linux kernel bzImage append initrd=initrd.gz ---------------------------------- Of course I can add more options in append I've compiled the kernel with a support for initrd and ramdisk. My question is how to build a valid ramdisk from the scratch( I need only a very basic file sys with a bash and a minimum of tools ) I need your help - to have details on howto do it. Thanks Cheers, |
