4.4.2.2. Booting the Installation Program from an LS-120 Diskette
If your Itanium cannot boot from Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD #1, you must boot from an LS-120
diskette. If you want to perform a hard drive, NFS, FTP, or HTTP installation, you must boot from a
boot LS-120 diskette.
You must create an LS-120 boot image file diskette from the boot image file on CD #1:
images/
boot.img
. To create this diskette in Linux, insert a blank LS-120 diskette and type the following
command at a shell prompt:
dd if= boot.img of=/dev/hda bs=180k
Replace
boot.img
with the full path to the boot image file and
/dev/hda
with the correct device
name for the LS-120 diskette drive.
If you are not using the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD, the installation program starts in text mode and
you must choose a few basic options for your system.
If you are using the CD-ROM to load the installation program, follow the instructions contained in
Chapter 4, Installing on Intel
®
and AMD Systems
.
To boot from an LS-120 diskette follow these steps:
1. Insert the LS-120 diskette you made from the boot image file
boot.img
. If you are performing a
local CD-ROM installation but booting off the LS-120 diskette, insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CD #1 also. If you are performing a hard drive, NFS, FTP, or HTTP installation, you do not need
the CD-ROM.
2. From the
Boot Option
menu choose
EFI Shell
.
3. At the
Shell>
prompt, change the device to the LS-120 drive by typing the command
fs0:
, using
the example
map
output above.
4. Type
elilo linux
to boot into the installation program.
5. Go to
Chapter 4, Installing on Intel
®
and AMD Systems
to begin the installation.
