Installing Schillix 0.7.1i

Following on from the previous Blog, I then attempted to install Schillix. I basically followed the README.

Whilst still booted from the Schillix installation media, create 2 filesystems:

root@unknown:~# newfs /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0: (y/n)? y
Warning: 2400 sector(s) in last cylinder unallocated

root@unknown:~# mount /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 /mnt

Copy the CD contents onto the root partition:

root@unknown:~# star -copy -p -sparse -no-fsync -time -xdot bs=1m fs=32m -C /.cdrom/ . /mnt
star: 0 blocks + 1244851712 bytes (total of 1244851712 bytes = 1215675.50k).
star: Total time 50.554sec (24046 kBytes/sec)

Update bootenv.rc to help grub find the root filesystem:

root@unknown:/# genbootpath /mnt >> /mnt/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc

Install the grub config file:

root@unknown:/# cp /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst.sample  /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst

Install grub (twice – once on the MBR, and also on the boot code of the bootable partition):

root@unknown:/# installgrub -m  /mnt/boot/grub/stage[12] /dev/rdsk/c0d0s0
Updating master boot sector destroys existing boot managers (if any).
continue (y/n)?y
stage2 written to partition 0, 275 sectors starting at 50 (abs 114)
stage1 written to partition 0 sector 0 (abs 64)
stage1 written to master boot sector

Create the boot-archive:

root@unknown:/# bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
updating /mnt//platform/i86pc/boot_archive
updating /mnt//platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive

Create the /dev tree, update the filesystem table, and change ownership of the root directory, then unmount and reboot:

root@unknown:/# devfsadm -r /mnt
root@unknown:/# cp /mnt/etc/vfstab.sample /mnt/etc/vfstab
root@unknown:/# chown root:root /mnt; chmod g-s,u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx /mnt
root@unknown:/# umount /mnt
root@unknown:/# reboot
