This is an old revision of NFSRoot from 2003-12-28 18:08:39.
This page describes how make a rootfs for the Javastation, using another Debian box.

Decide where to put it

TARGET="/export/javastation"


Make a directory

mkdir -p $TARGET


Install debootstrap

apt-get install debootstrap


Invoke the debian installer

# wget -O /tmp/js-db-script http://www.dnd.utwente.nl/js/files/deboostrap-woody-js # debootstrap --arch sparc woody $TARGET http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian /tmp/js-db-script

Note: this install is not a basic woody install; it's much more minimalistic and has nullmailer instead of exim.
Note: debootstrap wants to run executables, so do this on a Sun4 box running linux. Work is in progress to install debian from a non-native Sun4 box.

Edit some configfiles:

$TARGET/etc/hostname $TARGET/etc/fstab $TARGET/etc/network/interfaces $TARGET/etc/passwd
