Hello World,
I try to set up a LinuxBIOS System. What i really can not understand is the following: When I Flash the root filesystem into the BIOS Flash rom, where do i tell the kernel to mount it? How does that work?
If you mean you are putting a kernel into Disk On Chip, along with a root filing system as well, then the answer is that the root fs should be on /dev/nftla1
You can also mount a root image on ramdisk. You create a ramdisk on boot up and use loop devices to mount files there. There are many mini linux distros that do this from floppy, cdrom and cflash.
GO
If, on the other hand, you are actually only putting the kernel onto flash (DoC or some other flash device) then your root fs will still be /dev/hda1 or wherever you have all your system files (maybe somewhere across a network...).
Does this tell you what you need ?
