Installing the Red Hat V6.2 Distribution 2-11

2.6 Creating and Editing the BSD Disklabels

To boot Linux from a disk using SRM, a disklabel is required. A disklabel is a

partition table. The standard disklabels used by Linux are DOS partition

tables. However, the SRM console’s boot sector format overlaps with parts of

the DOS partition table on disk, and therefore DOS partition tables cannot be

used with SRM.

To boot Linux from a disk using SRM, a BSD disklabel is required. The SRM’s

boot block does not conflict with the BSD disklabel. In fact, the BSD disklabel

resides entirely within reserved areas of the first sector.

The Red Hat V6.2 installation can create and edit the BSD disklabels through

the Disk Druid utility. The distribution automatically installs and configures

aboot, the boot program for installing Linux when using SRM. The

distribution also adds a configuration file, aboot.conf, for aboot that simplifies

the installation process. Section 2.6.1 gives an example of how to use Disk

Druid.

After booting, the installation program displays the language screen. Click on

the next button and follow the menus on the GUI to complete the installation.

NOTE: If you wish to install the X Window System, the Elsa Gloria card has 8

MB of video RAM available. See the Red Hat installation guide for

details.
