About the S/390 installation CD
|
||
|
|
===============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is possible to "boot" the installation system off this CD using
|
||
|
|
the files provided in the /boot directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the /boot/d390oco.* files are only provided as an example
|
||
|
|
as Debian cannot ship the object-code-only-modules-ramdisk (oco.bin).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although you can boot the installer from this CD, the installation
|
||
|
|
itself is *not* actually done from the CD. Once the initrd is loaded,
|
||
|
|
the installer will ask you to configure your network connection and
|
||
|
|
uses the network-console component to allow you to continue the
|
||
|
|
installation over SSH. The rest of the installation is done over the
|
||
|
|
network: all installer components and Debian packages are retrieved
|
||
|
|
from a mirror.
|
||
|
|
|

|
Tip for users of the Hercules emulator
|
||
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
If you want to ipl the installer off this CD, mount it on the host
|
||
|
|
system (e.g. on /media/cdrom) and enter the following in the Hercules
|
||
|
|
management console:
|
||
|
|
ipl /media/cdrom/boot/d390.ins
