Install Zeroshell in SCSI hard drive.

[eleazar]

Greetings to all.
I pray and I am sorry my English truth is that I do not speak English nor anything Italian.
I am a user of zeroshell and wanted them to know that I could install the version 1.0.beta10 in a scsi hdd and wanted to share this with everyone.

I’m from Venezuela.

On SCSI hard disks you can store the profile, but you can boot from it.
SATA hard disks are instead supported for boot.

yes, I already install ZeroShell on SCSI whitout sata or ide disk, only SCSI. It’s able to boot and work like this.

please place information how to boot zeroshell from scsi disk

step 1: install zeroshell on your scsi disk.

step 2: Boot from a linux live cd (ex slax linux)

step 3: Mark /dev/sda1 as Bootable ( ex sfdisk )

step 4: Mount /dev/sda1 in any directory (ex mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/tmp )

step 5: cd /mnt ; cp initrd.gz /tmp; cd /tmp; gunzip initrd.gz; mount -o loop initrd /tmp/memory

step 6: copy from zeroshell live cd these files.
cp /media/CDROM/modules/2.6.25.17/kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi* /mnt/tmp/lib/sata/deps/
cp /media/CDROM/modules/2.6.25.17/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7* /mnt/tmp/lib/sata/chipsets/

step 7: Umount your initrd (ex umount /tmp/memory)

step 8: cd /tmp; gzip initrd; cd .. ; umount /mnt/tmp; reboot

step 9: Boot from your scsi disk

Note: I used a aic7 scsi chipsets. For another chipsets you must copy other files.

Juz wondering if that is a way to flash the zeroshell images into a thumbdrive like a dongle. Because i always use 2nd hand hardisk to install zeroshell and the hardisk always spoiled. So i would like to know if that’s anyway for me to flash it into a thumdrive as it is also quite convenience for me. Please help.. I really desperate to know it. thank you

Could you post the specific command you used for each step. I tried to follow your procedure and it didn’t work for me.

Thanks,
Ken
