- This version of amiboot takes two extra (optional) arguments:
-
- --apus: Use this when you want to boot a PPC kernel.
- --checksum: Use this to perform checksums on the kernel image before and
- after copying it to its final location. This will increase
- startup time by 15 secs or so.
-
- I use this rune to boot my PPC kernel:
-
- bootstrap --apus -k ram:vmlinux root=/dev/hda3 ip=off
-
-
- Whatever extra options you need, always make sure to put the bootstrap
- options first (the ones starting with '-') and the kernel options last.
-
- If you experience problems with the Linux/APUS port, please have a look at
- the Linux/APUS FAQ available via http (and ftp) from sunsite.auc.dk:
- http://sunsite.auc.dk:local/os/linux/apus/docs/faq.html
-
- The booter also stores a progress string in memory. You can use the tool
- bootmesg (included in the archive) to find this after rebooting. See the FAQ
- for details.
-
-
- If that does not help you, post a message to the Linux/APUS kernel list also
- hosted by sunsite. See the FAQ for details.

- Recompiling the apus booter:
-
- o get Geek Gadgets
- o get linux-2.1.42
- o put the source files from this archive in the arch/m68k/boot/amiga
- directory.
- o edit include/linux/types.h: define #__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES and out
- comment the ustat struct.
- include/linux/posix-types.h: exchange the two first lines.
- o try to compile (remember to cross your fingers :)
-
- You can have a look in the script compile which I use to compile bootstrap.
