[Soekris] Installing Pyramid on a Net4826

[Vacio]

In case you haven't seen this, the metrix site has a
pretty good discussion on installing pyramid and OS source
downloads that have been tested on 4826s.

Good luck,

  Derrik & Ron,

  Thanks for the responses--they are on target with what I
was asking, but:

  I chroot to /mnt.  Then: sh_3.00#:grub_install '(hd0)'

  I get back:

  sh_3.00#:tempnam: No such file or directory

  sh_3.00#:/sbin/grub_install: line 386: $log_file:
ambiguous redirect

  And I have to CTRL-C to get the prompt back.  So, is
grub-install looking for a particular file (say in the
/boot or /boot/grub directory), or a partition, which
maybe I don't have?

  Thanks again,

    The BIOS doesn't know anything about partitions or
filesystems, so you
    have to install the GRUB first-stage loader to the MBR
of your disk/CF
    card. Probably your best bet is to chroot into the
newly-created root
    filesystem after extracting the tarball, and run
"grub-install '(hd0)'".
    Upon reboot, you should then be launched into GRUB; if
there's a
    menu.lst file in /boot/grub, it will load that and
present you with a
    menu as usual.
