How to use copy
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Edlabel is a standalone program that can copy multiple volumes
|
|
from disk/tape to disk/tape. Mostly it is used to copy the
|
|
miniroot filesystem onto the swap partition during initial
|
|
installation.
|
|
You will here be guided through a session, things with ^^^^ under
|
|
is typed in by the user, comments are within /* */.
|
|
This is an installation from TK50.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nboot
|
|
: copy
|
|
^^^^

|

|
|
|
|
copy:
|
|
This program will read miniroot from tape/floppy/disk
|
|
and install this miniroot onto disk.
|
|
|
|
Specify the device to read from as xx(N,0), where
|
|
xx is the device-name and N is the unit-number, e.g.
|
|
"mt(0,1)" for the first TMSCP-tape (TK50),
|
|
"ra(2,0)" for the third MSCP-disk/floppy (RX33/RX50)
|
|
|
|
device to read from ? mt(0,1) /* Tape 0, file 1 */
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
Specify number of blocks to transfer. Usually this is
|
|
sizeof(miniroot) / 512.
|
|
It's safe to transfer more blocks than just the miniroot.
|
|
|
|
number of blocks ? 4096 /* Miniroot size is 4096 block */
|
|
^^^^
|
|
If your miniroot is split into volumes, then you must
|
|
specify the number of blocks per volume.
|
|
(e.g. 800 blocks per RX50, 2400 blocks per RX33)
|
|
|
|
number of blocks per volume ? [4096]
|
|
|
|
Make sure unit tms(0,1) is online and holds the proper volume.
|
|
Then type 'g' to Go or 'a' to Abort.
|
|
|
|
OK to go on ? [g/a] g /* g == go, a == abort */
|
|
^
|
|
Reading ... Reading of miniroot done. (4096 blocks read)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now specify the device to write miniroot to as xx(N,1)
|
|
where xx is the drive type and N is the drive number.
|
|
For example: ra(0,1) refers to MSCP drive #0, b partition
|
|
|
|
Root disk ? : ra(0,1) /* Actually DUA0, partition b (swap) */
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Initializing partition ... done.
|
|
(4096 blocks written.)
|
|
|
|
Halt the machine and reboot from distribution media,
|
|
giving second partition as part to mount as root. Ex:
|
|
: ra(0,1) for ra disk 0, hp(2,1) for massbuss disk 2
|
|
|
|
Halt/Reboot the machine NOW.
