I think I've almost figured out what I need to do to boot a 7250 into Debian
over NFS or on a USB drive.
Will someone please tell me if I'm on the right track?
* Reading the TS ARM Linux Developer's Manual, I see the section about
partitioning and formatting a CF card. Does this apply to a USB drive as well?
* The manual also says, "...then unpack the Development file system for NFS
root or Compact Flash." I have downloaded
debian-sarge-256MB-05-01-2006.tar.bz2. I How do I find the correct file system
for NFS _or_ CF in it? If I do 'tar xjf filename' it seems that tar will
extract eerything.
* Looking through the barball contents listing, I see (for example) gcc and
arm-gcc. Are both of these installed with Debian? Do they both compile for the
7000-series?
I know how to set up an NFS share, and the manual tells me how to boot to it
from RedBoot, so I should be good to go once I find the NFS system in the
tarball.
Maybe I misunderstood the manual. Is it the _same_ system for both NFS and
CF/USB? If so, should I just extract everything into a directory tree and mount
that tree on NFS?
Or, to use a USB drive, do I fdisk/format it ext2, then copy the entire tree to
it?
Thanks for any guidance.
