Adding the GESBC-9302 File System to the Debian NFS Server
Now that the Debian NFS is operational, the GESBC-9302 file system can be
loaded into /armfiles. Then we can try to boot the GESBC-9302 directly from the
Debian using NFS.
The first task is to put a complete copy of the GESBC-9302 file system on the
Debian hard drive in /armfiles. The file system is supplied by Glomation on the
CD at /Linux/GESBC-9302/ramdisk.gz
I made a new directory, /armdisk, and copied the ramdisk.gz file from the CD to
/armdisk. Decompress using the gzip command: gzip –d ramdisk.gz
This produces a single file simply called ramdisk. The next step is to mount the
ramdisk on the Debian development PC. This is done by mounting it as a loop
device, as follows:
mount –o loop /armdisk/ramdisk /armdisk
If the mount command is successful you should be able to see the GESBC-9302
file system in /armdisk on your Debian machine. This sequence is shown in the
screenshot below:
Note that you must go out of the /armdisk directory, then come back in, to view
the files now mounted from ramdisk.
The files, however, are not yet captured to the Debian hard drive. But now it is
simply a matter of copying the /armdisk recursively to /armfiles.
cp –ra /armdisk/* /armfiles
DebDevel:/armdisk# ls
ramdisk
DebDevel:/armdisk# mount -o loop /armdisk/ramdisk /armdisk
DebDevel:/armdisk# cd /
DebDevel:/# cd /armdisk
DebDevel:/armdisk# ls
bin dev etc home lib mnt proc sbin tmp usr var
DebDevel:/armdisk#
