40 Deploying Samba on IBM Eserver BladeCenter

18.Copy into this directory the bcm5700 module, installed on the system in step 1, by

executing:

cp /lib/modules/2.4.18-3BOOT/kernel/drivers/addon/bcm5700/bcm5700.o \

./2.4.18-3BOOT/

19.Add this driver to the modules.cpio file by executing:

ls 2.4.18-3BOOT/* | cpio -o --append -H crc -F modules.cpio

20.Zip the modules.cpio file using gzip modules.cpio.

21.Copy this file over the original in the mounted RAMdisk by executing cp -f

modules.cpio.gz /mnt/loop1/modules/modules.cgz.

22.Unmount the RAMdisk using umount /mnt/loop1.

23.Zip the RAMdisk by executing gzip initrd.img.

24.Copy the RAMdisk to the mounted boot diskette image by running cp -f initrd.img.gz

/mnt/loop0/initrd.img.

25.Unmount the boot diskette image using umount /mnt/loop0.

26.Create a boot diskette from this image by placing a diskette into the floppy drive and

executing dd if=bootnet.img of=/dev/fd0.

This install diskette is used to perform the network-based installations described in the next

two sections.

3.3.4 Installing from the NFS server

In this section, we will install Red Hat Linux via the NFS server. Perform the following steps:

1. Insert the network install diskette created in 3.3.3, “Creating the network boot diskette” on

page 38 into the IBM Eserver BladeCenter diskette drive.

2. Power on the blade server and press the Media Select and Console Select buttons on

the blade server.

3. Choose English.

4. Choose us.

5. Choose NFS image.

6. Choose the interface you want to use. In our case eth1 was connected to switch 1.

7. Accept the default Use dynamic IP configuration (BOOTP/DHCP). Choose or type in

the IP address, netmask, default gateway, and primary name server.

Note: Do not switch the KVM from the blade server until the installation has proceeded to

install the packages after the About to Install window appears, otherwise the mouse will

lose functionality.
