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-xx to 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.
