final steps
-----------
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| you may want/need to mount proc/sysfs somewhere in tis steps, simply do: |
+| mount /proc ; mount /sys (when you think its needed) |
+|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+
- chroot to your new build system and compile a new kernel
+ (you have to do this if you are not booting via nfsroot!)
example:
PATH="/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin" --login
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
+ (disable CONFIG_ROOT_NFS, if you are not booting via nfsroot!)
make dep bzImage modules modules_install
- yo may want to set a root password (default is 'hdw' iirc)
vi /etc/lilo.conf
(add vmlinuz_hdw)
lilo
+
+- create essential console and null nodes (!important!)
+
+ example:
+ mknod -m 0666 /mnt/hdw-target/dev/null
+ mknod -m 0600 /mnt/hdw-target/dev/null
+
+ [ WARNING : your system will not start up without these nodes ]
+
- have a look at the config files in /mnt/hdw-target/etc/* and adjust to your
needs. reboot then - good luck! ;)
