Updated F15 bootstrap image for TrimSlice

[Jon Masters]

Folks,

Updates to the wiki for F15 generally are coming soon. Meanwhile...

If you are wanting to get involved in the F15 bootstrap, and you have a
TrimSlice, you might be interested in the following image+instructions:

This can be installed onto an SD Card or microSD Card installed into an
SD Card adapter in the front slot (for other users, you will need to
adapt the boot.scr/cmd files - or ask for assistance if you like). Once
installed, you can copy the content onto the internal SSD:

0). mkfs.ext3 -L root /dev/sda1
1). mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
2). mkdir /mnt/dev /mnt/mnt /mnt/proc /mnt/selinux /mnt/sys
3). cp
-ax /bin /boot /etc /home /lib /media /opt /root /run /sbin /srv /tmp /usr /var /mnt
4). Edit the first line of /etc/fstab to use /dev/sda1
5). Change the file /boot/boot.cmd to contain:

setenv bootargs mem=384M@0M mem=512M@512M nvmem=128M@384M vmalloc=248M
video=tegrafb console=ttyS0,115200n8 rw root=/dev/sda1 nohdparm rootwait
earlyprintk rd_NO_PLYMOUTH
ext2load usb 0:1 4080000 /boot/uImage
ext2load usb 0:1 4400000 /boot/uInitrd
bootm 4080000 4400000

(no new line between "setenv" and "rd_NO_PLYMOUTH")

6). mkimage -A arm -O linux -T script -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "TrimSlice
boot script" -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr
7). halt
8). Press power button for 4 seconds, remove (micro)SD Card
9). Power on.

There is no swap in the default configuration. You will need to change
the network configuration, etc. See the readme file for more detail.

Jon.

P.S. For Red Hat folks, this image includes all of the necessary
packages to mount and use NFS client shares, RPC, and so on.
