AlterPath OnBoard Administrator’s Guide

Boot File Location Information

How the OnBoard boots is introduced at a high level in “Configuring the Boot 
File Location” on page 152. The additional information in this section is to 
give an administrator who has the root password enough background to be 
able to boot from an alternate image if the need arises and if the Web Manager 
is not available.

The OnBoard uses a U-Boot boot loader that resides in soldered flash memory 
and that automatically runs at boot time. U-Boot boots the OnBoard from an 
image whose location is configurable. The image can reside either in a 
separate removable flash memory on the OnBoard or on a boot server on the 
network.

Up to two images may be stored at the same time on the OnBoard’s removable 
flash. Each image on the removable flash has three separate file systems 
mounted on three Linux partitions. The first partition for each image contains 
the kernel, the second partition contains the root filesystem mounted read 
only, and the third partition contains the configuration files mounted read-
write.

For more about U-Boot in general, go to: 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/u-

boot

.

The OnBoard boots from alternate images as described below.

•

The OnBoard initially boots from a software image referred to as 
“image1,” which is stored in three partitions on the removable flash 
(

hda1

, 

hda5

, and 

hda7

).

•

The first time you download and install a new software version from 
Cyclades, the new image is stored as “image 2” in another set of three 
identical partitions on the removable flash (

hda2

, 

hda6

, and 

hda8

), and 

the configuration is changed to boot the OnBoard from “image2.”

•

The second time you download a new software version, the latest image is 
stored as “image1” in the first set of three partitions, and the OnBoard 
configuration is changed to boot from “image1.”    

•

Subsequent downloads are stored following the same pattern, alternating 
“image1” with “image2.”
