NOTE: This has not been updated in a long long time. Please don't
|
|
think that newer versions of linux or other distributions cannot be
|
|
done just because these old instructions talk about redhat 5.0.

If you want to write updated install instructions, please go ahead.

<H1>Instructions for installing RedHat 5.0 for use with bochs.</H1>
|
|
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
First, you need to have the RedHat 5.0 installation CD
|
|
and the boot & supplementary floppy disks. Installing
|
|
Linux from other vendors is also possible, but I assume
|
|
you have RedHat 5.0 for the script file, and for these
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
Second, you need a real Linux system to create the
|
|
disk image file, for use with bochs. This can be
|
|
later transfered to another platform.
|
|
|
|
Third, you should have already configured/compiled
|
|
bochs on your target platform.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Copy both boot & supplementary floppy disks to image files.
|
|
|
|
# stick in Boot disk
|
|
linux-> cp /dev/fd0 1.44_redhat_boot
|
|
# stick in Supplementary disk
|
|
linux-> cp /dev/fd0 1.44_redhat_sup
|
|
|
|
Mount your RedHat 5.0 CD. The mountpoint and instructions
|
|
may be different for your system.
|
|
|
|
linux-root> mount /mnt/cdrom
|
|
|
|
Now edit the install script in bochs-YYMMDD/misc, called
|
|
'install_redhat50'. It has a small section of configurable
|
|
parameters you can edit. Then run it as root. Make sure
|
|
you are in the directory.
|
|
|
|
linux-root> cd bochs-YYMMDD/misc
|
|
linux-root> ./install_redhat50
|
|
|
|
If this went well, then you're hard disk image file
|
|
is prepared for you, and has a small set of packages
|
|
from the RedHat 5.0 CD on it. You may add more later,
|
|
using the script file as an example.

|
|
If you have a target system, different from you
|
|
original Linux system, transfer over the 2 floppy
|
|
image files, and the hard disk image file now.
|
|
|
|
Copy the boot floppy image to your working file
|
|
|
|
unix-> cp 1.44_redhat_boot 1.44
|
|
|
|
Point your floppya directive to this working file
|
|
|
|
[edit .bochsrc]
|
|
|
|
Boot bochs from the floppy
|
|
|
|
unix-> bochs boot:a
|
|
|
|
The Welcom To Red Hat Linux screen appears. At the
|
|
boot: prompt, enter 'rescue' and [Return]
|
|
|
|
boot: rescue [Return]
|
|
|
|
The Color Choices menu appears
|
|
press [Return] to take the default
|
|
|
|
The Keyboard Type menu appears
|
|
press [Return] to take the default
|
|
|
|
The Second Floppy menu appears
|
|
Copy the Supplementary floppy image to your working file
|
|
|
|
unix-> cp 1.44_redhat_sup 1.44
|
|
|
|
Type [Return] to let the install program know you inserted
|
|
the new floppy.
|
|
|
|
The SCSI Configuration menu appears
|
|
Type [Return] to accept No.
|
|
|
|
You will now be at the Linux root prompt '#'.
|
|
Make an empty directory to mount the hard drive over.
|
|
Then mount the hard drive. I didn't use any partitions
|
|
for this example, so use 'hda', not 'hda1'.
|
|
|
|
# mkdir /mnt
|
|
# mount -t ext2 /dev/hda /mnt
|
|
|
|
Run lilo, so you can boot from the hard disk. Then
|
|
unmount the hard drive.
|
|
|
|
# /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt
|
|
# umount /mnt
|
|
|
|
Bomb out of bochs, by clicking on the Power button. Now
|
|
fire up bochs again, booting from the hard drive.
|
|
|
|
unix-> bochs boot:c
|
|
|
|
You can type [Return] at the LILO prompt:
|
|
|
|
LILO boot: [Return]
|
|
|
|
At the login prompt, login as root. For kicks, try
|
|
compiling the sample "hello.cc" program I included.
|
|
It should already be in your /root directory, ready
|
|
to be compiled.
|
|
|
|
[root@bochs /root]# gcc -c hello.cc
|
|
[root@bochs /root]# ./a.out
|
|
|
|
When you're ready to shutdown Linux, you can
|
|
shutdown as normal:
|
|
|
|
[root@bochs /root]# shutdown -h now
|
|
|
|
Enjoy,
|
