AW: [SPBLinux-user] rc_init

[Christian O. <os...@fr...>]

Hi Michail,

try http://www.spblinux.de/spb2/b13pre4/other/netboot.bz2  (=tar.bz2 file)
as example for
configuration: when this addon is loaded, spblinux acts as netboot server.

These lines are from netboot.bz2:
kernel kernel
append initrd=ramdisk bootd=tftp vga=791 spbrootsize=8 spbaddonsize=32
spbconf=cfgdev0=tftp,addons:subdir=basics:x,net:config=d reboot=warm no-hlt
panic=30

this is a line of dhcpd.conf:
  filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";

and spblinux expects its files in tftpserver_root/PXEClient/spblinux
   spbcfg = spblinux configuration file

   init6.gz = system files of spblinux

  tftp_files = list with addon files which should be loaded by tftp
  (usually automatically created by /etc/cfg_netboot; one file per line,
given as e.g. basics/libs.bz2)

  addon files:
  basic/*.bz2
  x/*.bz2
  ...
More information can be extracted from netboot.bz2

  this is the important part: does the network interface get up
  (is the module for your network card inside ramdisk; use changeramdisk
command to
  add other modules from modules_all zip file)

> error: executable file /etc/rc_init not found;
so kernel and ramdisk have been loaded by the bootloader, but linux fails to
set up the
the network interface or does not find the files on the tftp server

init6.bz2 is hidden inside init6.gz
