| - | I only recently devrosecid Krita, and I see so much potential in it! I have some experience using linux and would like to contribute to its improvement there. I would also really like to contribute to making it more compatible with windows. Would joining one of these programs be a good start to becoming involved with Krita's development? | + | ====== How to install a root file system to a Hard Disk ====== |

| + | |||
| + | ===== Getting started ===== | ||
| + | First I want to let you know that you must have serial port installed to your DSM-G600! Also I want to let you know that getting a regular (Gentoo or Debian) linux work on DSM-G600 can be extremely hard and It is recommended that you have very good knowledge about how Gentoo and Debian really work (boot process, initrd, inittab, services, runlevels). | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Basic steps ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | - [[howto:serial_connector|Install a serial console]] or look up [[howto:loader_o|loader.o method]] for kernel loading. | ||
| + | - Install [[howto:chroot_gentoo|Gentoo chroot]] or a [[howto:chroot_debian|Debian chroot]] into sda3 root. | ||
| + | - Get [[http://download2.polytechnic.edu.na/pub4/sourceforge/o/project/project/of/officialdlinkfirmware/DSM-G600_reB/ppclinux.tar.gz|Kernel source]]. | ||
| + | - Apply a kernel patch. After that your kernel is going to ignore U-Boot bootargs and you will be able to set a CONFIG_CMDLINE parameter.<code patch>--- arch/ppc/kernel/setup.c.orig 2005-04-11 05:50:07.000000000 +0300 | ||

| + | ===== Ramdisk tips ===== | ||
| + | By default you don't need to do nothing with ramdisk. Ramdisk will be loaded into memory as usual. | ||
| + | To go around this problem you can boot with ''bootm FFF10000'' U-Boot parameter which will only load a kernel image. Also it may be convenient to [[howto:kernel_upload|replace]] the RAMDisk image at 0xFFC20000 by an empty U-Boot image, like [[http://www.netbsd.org/ports/sandpoint/dummy.img.gz|this]] one (do not forget to uncompress it with gunzip(1)). | ||
