Subject: Re: starting Sabotage project/booting off the hard drive
Hi Will,
I am going to give you my hacker addition instructions.
Bassically take the image that is working in qemu. Lets call it sabotage.img
Caution !!! This will wipe the target drive !!!!
Do "dd if=sabotage.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M" assuming your target drive is
/dev/sdX.
Do a "partprobe" or reboot or whatever you like to sync the kernel
partition table with the one on disk.
Reboot is probably best.
If you are "really" lucky it will boot and work, but I suspect not. You
need the right drivers for your hardware.
I use an image and kernel from Ubuntu
I copy /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-24-generic and
/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic from an Ubuntu distro to the /boot
partition of the target disk.
I also tar the /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic directory (It has to match
with the image and kernel that you used in the above step)
I would then untar it onto my target root partition so that it ends up in
/lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic or whatever the version is you choose.
Obviously you have to edit /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg to accomodate
whatever kernel and initrd you choose.
That should do it.
Regards
Paul
