<title>Installing PALO</title>

On the PA-RISC platform, the boot loader is called palo. You can find
|
| 16 |
the configuration file in <path>/etc/palo.conf</path>. Here is a sample
|
| 17 |
configuration:
|
| 18 |
</p>
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
<pre caption = "/etc/palo.conf example">
|
| 21 |
--commandline=2/vmlinux root=/dev/sdb2 HOME=/
|
| 22 |
--recoverykernel=/vmlinux.old
|
| 23 |
--init-partitioned=/dev/sdb
|
| 24 |
</pre>
|
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
<p>
|
| 27 |
The first line tells palo the location of the kernel and which boot
|
| 28 |
parameters it must use. <c>2/vmlinux</c> means the kernel named <c>/vmlinux</c>
|
| 29 |
resides on the second partition. Beware, the path to the kernel is
|
| 30 |
relative to the partition, not to the root of your filesystem.
|
| 31 |
</p>
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
<p>
|
| 34 |
The second line indicates which recovery kernel to use. If it is your
|
| 35 |
first install and you do not have a recovery kernel, please comment this
|
| 36 |
out. The third line indicates on which disk palo will reside.
|
| 37 |
</p>
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
<p>
|
| 40 |
When configuration is done, just run <c>palo</c>.
|
| 41 |
</p>
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
<pre caption = "Applying the PALO configuration">

Now continue with <uri link="#reboot">Rebooting the System</uri>.

Exit the chrooted environment and unmount all mounted partitions. Then type in
|
| 60 |
that one magical command you have been waiting for: <c>reboot</c>.
|
| 61 |
</p>
|
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
<pre caption="Exiting the chroot, unmounting all partitions and rebooting">
|
| 64 |
# <i>exit</i>
|
| 65 |
cdimage ~# <i>umount /mnt/gentoo/boot /mnt/gentoo/proc /mnt/gentoo</i>
|
| 66 |
cdimage ~# <i>reboot</i>
|
| 67 |
</pre>

<p>

Of course, don't forget to remove the bootable CD, otherwise the CD will be
|
| 71 |
booted again instead of your new Gentoo system.
|
| 72 |
</p>
|
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
<p>
|
| 75 |
Once rebooted in your Gentoo installation, finish up with <uri
|
| 76 |
link="?part=1&chap=11">Finalizing your Gentoo Installation</uri>.
