LILO preparation

# wget http://www.superh-linux.org/archive/bsp/sh7751r_se/sh4-lilo-001126.tar.gz

# tar xvf sh4-lilo-001126.tar.gz

# cd sh4-lilo

Edit the source code "second.c" in order to set the serial port to 9600bps.

[line 192]: cmdline = string_set (cmdline, "console=ttySC0,9600");

Edit the source code "first.S" in order to much versions lilo.x86 and boot.b.

[line 53]:  .word   4*256 + 21

# make

Note : Cross compile environment is required on your PC.

# cp sh4-lilo/boot.b /mnt/boot/

# vi /mnt/etc/lilo.cross

Minimum preparation of configuration files

/etc/hosts

127.0.0.1    localhost
192.168.11.128 landisk

/etc/resolv.conf

# Domain name searches will fail until you point this to a real DNS server.
# search mydomain.com
nameserver 192.168.11.1

/etc/inittab

In order to enable serial console before login, the line regarding serial console configuration should  be changed as follow :

1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 9600 ttySC1

It is not necessary to change other lines.

Install base package

#wget http://iohack.sourceforge.jp/kogiidena/debian26/base/base26-sh4-20070709-etch.tgz

#tar zxf [download folder]/base26-sh4-20070709-etch.tgz -C /mnt

#mv /mnt/debian26/* /mnt/

#rm -r /mnt/debian26

Landisk Tools install

#wget http://iohack.sourceforge.jp/kogiidena/debian26/base/landisk-tools-20070516.tgz

#tar zxf [downloaded folder]/landisk-tools-20070516.tgz -C /mnt

(Continue)

debian install detail (1)

Make the partitions on target HDD

Assuming that the HDD is shown as /dev/sda on another linux PC

#cfdisk /dev/sda (Secure the first partition under 8GB as FS type 83[Linux ext2])

Note: sh-lilo understands only under 1023 cylinders. Therefore the boot partition must be under 8GB.

#mke2fs /dev/sda1 (Format sda1 as ext2)

#mount /dev/sda1 /mnt (Mount the boot partition to /mnt )

(Continue)

ncurses install

apt-get install ncurses-dev ncurses-base ncurses-bin ncurses-term libncurses5-dev

debian install

a. Set the partitions

b. Download and extract the "base26-sh4-20070709-etch.tgz"

c. Download and extract the "landisk-tools-20070516.tgz"

d. Download the "sh4-lilo-001126.tar.gz" and cross-compile for "boot.b"

e. Connect HDD to PC and execute "lilo.x86" with appropriate "lilo.cross" and "boot.b"

f. Edit necessary configuration file

g. Connect HDD to LANDISK and power on
