The information presented here gives some general guidance on Linux installation set up. Specific Linux release information must be consulted for getting boot and install content, setting up content on an installation server, and required options in the EFI boot configuration file.

The /etc/bootptab content to enable Linux boot for installation might look like the following.

linuxsys2:\

ht:=ether:\

ha=001560045A4A:\

ip=10.1.1.221:\

hn:\

sm=255.255.255.0:\

gw=10.1.1.1:\

nt=10.1.1.11:\

ds=10.1.1.11:\ bf=/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX/elilo-ia64.efi:\ bp=10.1.1.11

Once all the content has been set up, the HP-UX server must have Linux boot and installation enabled.

Use EFI network boot to start the boot and installation process.

Installation options specified in the elilo-ia64.conffile will be displayed as formatted by the hplinux.msg file.

IMPORTANT: If the message file is missing or incorrect, the system might display a blank screen when elilo boots. If this happens, you must be able to use CTRL-c to exit the boot loader and return to the EFI boot menu.

Select the desired distribution for boot and installation.
