Install Linux on Lite5200b

In this setup, the Lit5200b boot loader will load the kernel via TFTP from the host PC and mount the root file system via NFS.

Configuration of host PC

• Ubuntu 8.10
• NFS kernel modules
• tftpd

Installation of ltib

• Download mpc5200_lite5200b_20070203_ltib-rc4.iso
• Mount the iso file
• Run install script in ISO and choose install directory
• Run ltib script in the install directory. Compile problems? Check here.

Preparing boot loader

• Not all options printed in the manual are needed. Check recursively from "bootcmd"

Problems

• Mounting of the NFS file system may take ages. Make sure that in rc.conf, portmap is loaded before the file systems are mounted. When the ltib configuration changes, rc.conf is set to the defaults, so you will need to do this again.
