+ Some notes on creating a disk image with Grub installed:
|
|
|
+ 1. Create an empty disk image
|
|
|
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=disk.img bs=1M count=32
|
|
|
+ 2. Create one primary partition
|
|
|
+ cfdisk -h 16 -s 63 disk.img
|
|
|
+ 3. Set up a loop device
|
|
|
+ sudo losetup -f disk.img
|
|
|
+ 4. Set up loop devices per partitions
|
|
|
+ sudo partx -a /dev/loop0
|
|
|
+ 5. Create the ext2 filesystem
|
|
|
+ sudo mkfs.ext2 -L root /dev/loop0p1
|
|
|
+ 6. Mount the filesystem
|
|
|
+ mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
|
|
|
+ 7. Extract the root filesystem
|
|
|
+ sudo tar -C /mnt -xf output/images/rootfs.tar
|
|
|
+ 8. Unmount the filesystem, clean up loop device
|
|
|
+ sudo umount /mnt
|
|
|
+ sudo partx -d /dev/loop0
|
|
|
+ sudo losetup -d /dev/loop0
|
|
|
+ 9. Install grub
|
|
|
+ output/host/sbin/grub --device-map=/dev/null
|
|
|
+ and in the grub shell, enter:
|
|
|
+ device (hd0) disk.img
|
|
|
+ geometry (hd0) <cylinders> 16 63
|
|
|
+ root (hd0,0)
|
|
|
+ setup (hd0)
|
|
|
+ 10. Image is ready
|
|
|
+ Can be tested in Qemu, with:
|
|
|
+ qemu-system-{i386,x86-64} -hda disk.img
