HOWTO install and boot the OM-Cube from the CF card

• You have to download the latest OM-Cube CF distribution. See here.

• In order to install OM-Cube software, you must have an HD connected to the OM-Cube running Linux. You have to:

• Create a Linux partition on the Compact Flash:
  • # fdisk /dev/hdc

   

• Create an ext3 file system on the /dev/hdc1 partition:
  • # mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc1

   

• Decompress the OM-Cube software:
  • # cd
  • # tar -xvzf omcube-x.x.x.tar.gz

• Mount the /dev/hdc1 partition:
  • # mkdir /cf
  • # mount -t ext3 /dev/hdc1 /cf

     

• Copy all the OM-Cube software under the /cf directory:
  • # cd omcube-x.x.x
  • # cp -r * /cf

• Install LILO on the CF Flash according to the /cf/etc/lilo.conf configuration file:
  • # lilo -r /cf -v

   

• Reboot the OM-Cube machine and configure the BIOS for boting on the HD1 device (Compact Flash card) and enjoy...
