Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux onto a Fibre
Channel Boot Disk
Please follow these instructions if you want to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux onto a Fibre
Channel boot disk attached to Emulex LightPulse HBA.
1. Download the Driver Disk image file appropriate to your Red Hat distribution. An
example of this is:
as21-i586-2.01g.img.gz
2. Uncompress the Driver Disk image file if necessary.
# gunzip as21-i586-2.01g.img.gz
3. Insert a diskette into the diskette drive and copy the uncompressed Driver Disk
image file to diskette.
# dd if=as21-i586-2.01g.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
4. Boot the system to be installed from either CD-ROM disc 1 or the Red Hat boot
diskette.
❍ For i386 systems, at the boot: prompt, type "linux dd" and press ENTER.
❍ For IA64 systems, switch to the appropriate file system to which the
Installation CD-ROM disc 1 is mapped. This can be done in the EFI shell by
typing in the name assigned to the Installation CD-ROM disc 1. Now type in
"elilo linux dd" and press ENTER.
5. Select YES, when you are prompted:
Do you have a driver disk?
6. You will then be prompted:
Insert your driver disk and press "ok" to continue
7. Insert the driver disk and press ENTER.
