- Edit Makefile and include/config.h to suite your needs. For most
purposes, the distributed version should work fine. Note that
the CONFIG_FILE_PARTITION macro is still present like in earlier
version, but since aboot-0.5 allows you to select a partition via
the boot-commandline, the value for that macro is not as critical
anymore. Users of certain versions of gcc (2.96 and later?)
may need to add '-ffreestanding' flag to CFLAGS, in the Makefile.
- Type "make".
- To install the newly created aboot image (named "bootlx"), in most cases,
you use swriteboot (found in the sdisklabel directory), like this:
# swriteboot -c[boot partition #] [boot device] bootlx
for example, on my system, the kernel images (and aboot.conf) are on my
root partition, /dev/sda2. hence:
# swriteboot -c2 /dev/sda bootlx
DON'T DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE SURE OF THE PARTITION INFO. If you don't know
exactly what you're doing, and your system already boots okay, there's no
reason to be installing a new bootloader.
