Hi,
I am a relatively new linux user with a TS-7250 I wish to use as an
embedded ntp controller/server in a personal project. I need to run
the ntp-server software to obviate the need to develop ntp's analysis
capability. My problem is that when using Debian on a USB memory
stick, telneting into the platform gives me the underlying TS-Linux
system and not the Debian system running ntp-server. I can get around
this, I know, but it is not nice. I understand that I have two
systems running on the '7250, TS-Linux underneath Debian, with heavens
know what processes actually running simultaneously. It works, but is
anything but elegant. I also understand that I can avoid this (and
why) by using an NFS boot approach, but if I need the NFS server then
I don't need the '7250.
For me, the ideal solution would to be able to boot straight into a
system running ntp-server and I would go some distance to avoid
anything like compiling the kernel. Looking at the blurb on
Technologic's Linux Bootloader, it appears to suggest that I can
arrange to boot straight into Debian. I understand that for this to
happen the USB and other platform support has to be loaded so I expect
that this is all taken care of. Is my understanding of Bootloader
correct and, if so, how do I use it to achieve my goal?
Hoping that there is some light at the end of the tunnel,
Keith.
