Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array

6.Change to the system specific directory in the mod_devel_kit path.

For RHEL 3.0:

[mod_devel_kit]# cd rhel3

7.Build the architecture-specific RHEL 3.0 driver diskette image by decompressing the file dd.img-xx.gz, where xx denotes the specific type of architecture.

An example for an IA32 driver diskette image is as follows:

[rhel3]# gzip -d dd.img-i686.gz

An example for a 64-bit driver diskette image is as follows:

[rhel3]# gzip -d v1-dd.img.gz

8.Copy the architecture specific image dd.img-xxto a floppy. An example for an IA32 driver diskette image is as follows:

[rhel3]# ls -las *

[rhel3]# dd if=dd.img-i686 of=/dev/fd0 bs=<byte_size>

An example for a 64-bit driver diskette image is as follows:

[rhel3]# dd if=v1-dd.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=<byte_size>

Using the driver diskette

During the installation of the Red Hat operating system, choose the

DD(driver diskette) option which will prompt you to insert the floppy, or if a DD diskette option does not appear, type the following at the boot loader prompt during installation:

boot: linux dd

If you have problems, type the following at the boot loader prompt during installation:

boot: linux noprobe dd

Continue the installation by following the Red Hat instructions.
