by hitting left-alt-F2 to get to the second virtual console. At this command prompt, you should
type the following (no login is necessary):
# ifconfig eth0
If there is no such interface, a message to that effect will appear. Otherwise, the interface is
present, and no message will appear or a summary of eth0 will appear.
If no network interface is present, then it is likely that NIC driver parameters are necessary. If this
occurs, you should manually set the speed and duplex settings on the connected repeater or
switch, and unload and reload the TLAN module with the corresponding speed and duplex
settings. Specifically, you should enter the following parameters:
x
duplex=1 (forces half duplex)
x
duplex=2 (forces full duplex)
x
speed=10 (forces 10baseT)
x
speed=100 (forces 100baseTx)
If more than one parameter is entered, they should be entered in a space-separated list.
Note: Loading Network Controller Modules Under Caldera: Once a network driver is loaded, it
will be accessible during the network configuration screens at the end of installation, even if the
hardware doesn’t show up in the hardware list.
Caldera Setup Configurations
The next step is to configure swap space and disk partitioning. You should consult Caldera
documentation to properly set up the disks. There is one exception when SmartStart places a
bootable partition on the first disk. This partition has the hexadecimal partition ID, 0x12 and
should not be deleted because it can be booted at later times when it is necessary to reconfigure
the System Hardware.
When choosing software to install, you should be sure that the Apache web server is selected. A
“typical” installation installs Apache.
Network Configuration
Network configuration follows software installation. At this point, the TLAN network interface is
configurable even though the card did not previously show up in the hardware list at the
beginning of the installation. If an Intel NIC is installed, then that interface is configurable here as
well.
Note: Caldera’s installation will configure only one network interface through their GUI at
install time. For multiple physical homes, please consult Caldera’s documentation.
LILO
Caldera’s LILO configuration will not identify the Compaq System Partition as a bootable
partition. To set this up, it is necessary to edit /etc/lilo.conf after booting into the freshly installed
system. The following lines should be added (assuming partition ID 0x12 is located on
/dev/sda3). Remove the “other=” section when setting up a Prosignia server since the Prosignia
does not use a system partition:
# begin System Partition section
other=/dev/sda3
