hi
I've installed a new computer with raid and lvm-root
I'm trying to create a backup boot methos ( i.e. boot via floppy/ies or
cd )
my root ( compressed ) and the kernel image together are about
1700kbytes
so i can not make it a single-boot diskete
( funny, but if i compile my utils as static, so i do not need libc.so ,
it takes less
disk space befor compression, but more after ... )
i tried making it 1 root + 1 boot but:
if i write root=/dev/vg0/root ( lvm root ) it will not prmbpt/load the
ramdisk ...
if i write root=/dev/fd0 it will not know that it needs to load
/dev/vg0/root as root
( either write it under lilo, or use rdev )
i tried making a single 2880 image and boot via cd. but because i do not
really have
a 2880 floppy, i made it as ram disk but lilo does not want to install
itself on ramdisk.
and working with rdev, gave me the same problems as above
any idea ?
