The scripts needed to build a boot tape for 4.2 and beyond
|
|
|
|
|
live here. Before trying anything look at the scripts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
buildmini
|
|
|
|
|
get
|
|
|
|
|
maketape
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To construct a tape suitable for bootstrapping a system
|
|
|
|
|
first find a spare file system for a ``mini root'' and
|
|
|
|
|
patch the buildmini shell script to reflect its location.
|
|
|
|
|
Second, decide where your ``distribution'' source is located
|
|
|
|
|
and patch the get and maketape scripts. Then do the following:
|
|
|
|
|
% buildmini
|
|
|
|
|
% maketape [ 6250 | 1600 [ tapename [ remotetapemachine ] ] ]
|
|
|
|
|
This builds a distribution on one tape at 6250bpi, two tapes at 1600bpi.
|
|
|
|
|
The tape drive may be on a remote machine if the last optional arg is given.
|
|
|
|
|
For 1600bpi, be sure and check whether /usr/src will fit on one tape.
|
|
|
|
|
The current distribution is about 80+ megabytes and easily fits on one tape
|
|
|
|
|
at 6250bpi with a blocking factor of 20.
