netabootwrap 1 netabootwrap netabootwrap builds network bootable images for Linux/Alpha netabootwrap -t netboot.img -k vmlinux.gz -i initrd.gz -a "some kernel parameters" netabootwrap is (c) 2000 by Soohoon Lee soohoon.lee@api-networks.com netabootwrap netabootwrap merges net_aboot, kernel and initrd images to build the network bootable image for Linux/Alpha systems. net_aboot.nh will not be usable but netabootwrap has all the functions. Without options, It'll look for vmlinux.gz and build netboot.img, which is net_aboot + vmlinux.gz. -t filename Sets the file name of the netboot image to be created, default is netboot.img. This file will be unconditionally overwritten if it exists. -k filename Sets the file name of the kernel image, default is vmlinux.gz -i filename Sets the file name of the initial RAM-disk image, default is initrd.gz -a "some kernel options" Provide additional kernel options, e.g. -a "root=/dev/sda1 single" To actually use the image, you need a tftpd(8) server and a dhcp(8) or bootpd(8) server.
