NAME
make-fai-bootfloppy - create a FAI boot floppySYNOPSIS
make-fai-bootfloppy [OPTIONS] [<kernel parameters>]DESCRIPTION
Creates a boot floppy for the Fully Automatic Installation (FAI) package. This shell-script wrapper simplifies the complexities of creating a FAI boot disk for use with DHCP or BOOTP protocols. It creates a bootfloppy using grub (default) or lilo as boot loader. The installation kernel is also put onto the floppy disk which supports DHCP, BOOTP protocol and a fixed IP address for the installation server. All parameters are used as additional kernel parameters.The exit code returned is 0 if all commands to build the root directory exited successfully and >0 if an error occurs.
OPTIONS
- -B
- Make a big 2.88M floppy instead of the default 1.44M floppy.
- -C CFDIR
- Use CFDIR instead of /etc/fai for reading the config file fai.conf.
- -d LABEL
-
Use LABEL when selection the default boot kernel (and parameters). Possible values of LABEL:
a for any: the linux kernel will try all compiled in protocols in turn, until one succeeds;
b for BOOTP;
d for DHCP;
f for using a fixed IP address on the FAI client (see option '-s');
r for RARP.Without this option, the kernel setting 'ip=dhcp is used.
- -F
- Append default flags to kernel parameters. Same as "FAI_FLAGS=verbose,sshd,createvt"
- -f FILE
- Make a floppy image in FILE.
- -i FILE
- Make a iso9660 image in FILE (requires also -f FILE).
- -I IF
- Use IF as client interface (default: eth0).
- -g
- Use GRUB as boot loader (default).
- -l
- Use LILO as boot loader.
- -m DIR
- Use DIR as mountpoint for either floppy device or file. Defaults to /floppy.
- -s HOST
- Prepare a host specific bootfloppy which will boot the kernel with the fixed IP of HOST (i.e., insert network configuration into kernel command line's "ip=" statement). All necessary data are gathered by DNS A lookup.
- -v
- Print verbose output
EXAMPLES
Create a generic boot floppy
make-fai-bootfloppy
Create a generic boot floppy for James ;-)
# make-fai-bootfloppy "FAI_FLAGS=sshd,createvt BOND=007"
Make a common floppy which uses the DHCP protocol as default, some common flags and action sysinfo
Create a bootable cdrom image, that can be burned using cdrecord(1)
# make-fai-bootfloppy -f /tmp/fai_floppy.img -i /tmp/fai_iso.img "FAI_FLAGS=sshd,createvt"
Make a common floppy which uses the DHCP protocol as default, some common flags and action sysinfo
# make-fai-bootfloppy -vF FAI_ACTION=sysinfo
Make a boot floppy with fixed IP adress, enable verbose messages and additional terminals.
# make-fai-bootfloppy -l -d f "10.0.2.5:10.0.2.1:10.0.0.1: 255.255.0.0:client5:eth0:off FAI_FLAGS=verbose,createvt"
To make a boot floppy for my old SMC EtherCard Plus Elite 16T, I use
# make-fai-bootfloppy "reserve=0x300,32 ether=10,0x300,eth0"
NOTES
make-fai-bootfloppy will attempt to access /dev/fd0 unless the option -f is used. IT IS NOT DEVFSD compatible unless your devfsd installation remaps the floppy device to the common device alias /dev/fd0.SEE ALSO
