Appendix B: Advanced Boot and Backup Configuration Information 373
Boot File Location Information
Refer to the following text and figure explaining partition numbers if needed
for understanding some of the instructions in the rest of this chapter. As
illustrated in the following figure, the first partition for each image contains
the Linux kernel, the second partition contains the root-mounted filesystem
(which is mounted read only), and the third partition (which is mounted read
write) contains the configuration files.
Figure B-1: Boot Partitions
The previous figure also shows a configuration backup partition (
/dev/
hda3
in removable flash). This partition is mounted as
/mnt/hda3
. The
/mnt/hda3/backup
directory is used for storing compressed copies of
backed-up configuration files, as shown in the following screen example.
[root@OnBoard root]#
cd /mnt/hda3/backup
[root@OnBoard backup]#
ls
