Booting AXP distirbution from ARC-BIOS. (NT-BIOS)

Support knowledgebase (boot_milo_63)
Applies to

SuSE Linux AXP: Version 6.3

Symptom:

You would like to create a menu entry in the ARC-BIOS to load the bootfloppy you created.

Solution:

  1. In the ARC bios create a menu entry with the following values:
Whereby xxxxxxx stands for ldmilo on Ruffian-Boards and linload.exe on other boards.

Alternatevly you can also specify the loader to source the cdrom kernel image

OsLoadOptions = boot scd0:/etc/vmlinux.gz root=/dev/fd0 fake_initrd

However this will not work with all Alphas.
After inputting this line, you must then reboot the system with the boot disk that you created.
