Hi list,
% grml-tips netboot Create netboot package for grml-terminalserver:
# sh /usr/share/doc/grml-terminalserver/examples/create-netboot
We use that script for creating the official netboot packages as well and we will provide official netboot packages as soon as the stable release is on the way (which is expected to happen with the next few days).
fine I thought. First of all I extracted a grml-small squashfs. Then I chrooted to the squashfs-root created by unsquashfs to "apt-get install grml-terminalserver".
Now executing the above mentioned script resulted in a minor error because "make" was not installed as a dependancy. Further on it tried to setup the chroot environment as the terminalserver which I never intended ...
Finally I got a grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1.tar.bz2 containing nothing useful: grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/ grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/grub.img grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/tftpboot/ grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/tftpboot/pxelinux.0 grml_netboot_package_grml-small_2008.11-rc1/grub_enabled_nics
Later I figured out a call "grml-terminalserver-config initrd" which sounded promising but which tried to loopback mount a CPIO archive ?!
- eval 'mount -o loop=/dev/loop3 /tmp/terminalserver_initrd.yzNoiv/minirt26 /etc/grml/terminalserver/mini-root.orig '
++ mount -o loop=/dev/loop3 /tmp/terminalserver_initrd.yzNoiv/minirt26 /etc/grml/terminalserver/mini-root.orig mount: you must specify the filesystem type
As far as I could see the CPIO archive was copied from /cdrom which contained the mounted ISO (loopback from outside the chroot).
Well finally I did not succeed in building an apropriate initrd to use for my existing PXE setup.
Now what did I do wrong? Or did I completely misunderstand the usage of the provided scripts?
Thanks in advance, Markus
