- - Edit Makefile and include/config.h to suite your needs. For most
- purposes, the distributed version should work fine. Note that
- the CONFIG_FILE_PARTITION macro is still present like in earlier
- version, but since aboot-0.5 allows you to select a partition via
- the boot-commandline, the value for that macro is not as critical
- anymore. Users of certain versions of gcc (2.96 and later?)
- may need to add '-ffreestanding' flag to CFLAGS, in the Makefile.
- - Type "make".
- - To install the newly created aboot image (named "bootlx"), in most cases,
- you use swriteboot (found in the sdisklabel directory), like this:
- # swriteboot -c[boot partition #] [boot device] bootlx
- for example, on my system, the kernel images (and aboot.conf) are on my
- root partition, /dev/sda2. hence:
- # swriteboot -c2 /dev/sda bootlx
-
- DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE SURE OF THE PARTITION INFO. If you don't know
- exactly what you're doing, and your system already boots okay, there's no
- reason to be installing a new bootloader.
