Subject: [gentoo-embedded] bootable iso9660 CD without initrd
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:29:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ACCD011.101@hiramoto.org> (raw)
Hi,
I'm trying to prototype & demo a x86 embedded system on a virtual
machine with a RO root file system. I thought of making a bootable CD
to do it. I'm trying to do it without a initrd to keep the footprint to
a minimum, the kernel boots but getting the error of init unable to open
the initial console. I suspect the problem is that iso9660 can not
store /dev/console correctly as a character device.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if there are examples anywhere
on how to do it?
Thanks.
