Thanks a lot for your pointer. I followed the link and finally found the following link for mkautoinstallcd script which is part of systemImage suite: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/systemimager/systemimager/sbin/mkautoinstallcd?annotate=1.17
I collected the required things from the script and did the following with no luck. Hope you can tell me where I am going wrong [ I am doing the following steps on a ia32 system] :
1. mkdir cd_files. Copied the following files into cd_files directory (a) vmlinux (ia64 kernel )(b) elilo.efi from the ia64 box (c) the elilo.conf with the entries – default=Linux image=vmlinux lable=Linux read-only 2. mkdir boot ; mkdir ./tmnt 3. dd if=/dev/zero of=boot/siboot.img bs=1024k count=10 4. /sbin/mkdosfs boot/siboot.img 5. mount –t vfat –o loop boot/siboot.img ./tmnt 6. cp –av cd_files/* ./tmnt 7. umount ./tmnt 8. mkisofs -J -r -T -v -pad -b boot/siboot.img -c boot/boot.catalog -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 1 -o cdrom.img . 9. Burned iso image ‘cdrom.img’ to the CD on my windows box. 10.Rebooted the ia64 system with the cdrom in the cdrom drive 11.at the EFI Boot Manager prompt, selected the CDROM option to boot it off the CD. But I see the message that says that the loading is failed. 12.Next selected the EFI shell and at the prompt typed ‘map’ 13.I don’t see the CD-ROM drive being mapped to fs0.
I appreciate any kind of pointers/the things that I am missing to make it bootable on ia64.
Thanks in advance. Mohan
