Re: [Trinux-talk] initrd.gz build script

[Matthew F. <mf...@ci...>]

Here's the script... Kind of crude, but it works. Let me know if you have
any questions.

-mdf

---------------

SRC=3D"/tux/initrd"

cd $SRC/src
tar czvf ../initrd.tgz .

cd /
umount /minix

dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3Dblah bs=3D1k count=3D6144
losetup /dev/loop4 blah
mkfs.minix /dev/loop4

if mount -t minix /dev/loop4 /minix
then
=09cd $SRC/src
=09mv ../initrd.tar.gz ../.bak
=09tar cvf ../initrd.tar.gz .
=09cd /minix
=09tar xvf $SRC/initrd.tar.gz
=09sync
=09dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3Dblah
=09df
=09rm blah
=09sync
=09cd $SRC
=09dd if=3D/dev/loop4 of=3Dinitrd
=09rm initrd.gz
=09gzip -9 initrd
=09ls -al initrd.gz

=09umount /minix
=09losetup -d /dev/loop4

=09echo -n "Copy to floppy? "
=09read blah
=09if [ $blah =3D 'y' ]
=09then
=09=09mcopy -o initrd.gz a:
  =09fi=09

else
=09echo "Mount error!"
=09exit 1
fi
