doconfig on /mnt fs

[Artem Alimarine]

Hi all,

The question is: can I boot from the installation CD, mount a HD with
True64 installed on it and build a kernel on that disk? Can doconfig
access kernel configurations on, say, /mnt instead from the current
root? The subject systems are 4.0x and 5.1.

Regards,
Artem

Hi Artem,

Let's see. Mounting the filesystem should not be a problem, just mount them
under /mnt on the booted virtual filesystem. Using chroot /mnt should move
the current root to the mounted root filesystem.

following tasks in /sbin/mountroot you would have to do the following after
the chroot
/sbin/sysconfig -r generic user_cfg_pt=40100
/sbin/sysconfig -r io root_mounted_rw=2
dn_setup -boot

To make sure everything is mounted correctly and device nodes are available

After that you can run a doconfig.

These are just a number of guesses so i would test it on some other machine
first.

Not a hundred percent sure, but that would be the way i would go
