This is the result of too many kernel directories being present in the dud. This will be fixed in the next release. ENHANCEMENTS CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette: MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS: 1) Save the "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use WINZIP to extract "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd" from this file into the same directory. Please ensure that "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the United Linux 1.0 CD in the "dosutil" directory. 3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant 64-Bit/133-MHz Ultra320 Adapter Driver Diskette". Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands (assuming your ProLiant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:) C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite Enter disk image source file name: mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd Enter target diskette drive: a: Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS: 1) Save the "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd" from this file into the same directory 2) To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux) 3) First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant 64-Bit/133-MHz Ultra320 Adapter Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command: # dd if=mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k 4) This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (Driver Diskette image) to an output file (Floppy Diskette). To make another diskette run the same "dd" command again.
