[Barrelfish-users] Re: Introduction and Error 23 : Error while parsing number

Hi Gurgi,

I just decompressed the source tarball several hours ago and came across
the same problem. I did the following steps to get it running.

1. Setup my TFTP server and copy the corresponding binary files into the
"tftpboot" directory.

2. Configure the network in GRUB so that it can load files on the TFTP
server. (use "ifconfig" under GRUB shell)

3. Manually specify the medium ( "root (nd)" ), load the kernel ( "kernel
\kernel" ) and the other modules ( e.g. "init", "mem_serv", "monitor",
"chips" ) as needed.

4. "boot" :)

I think it's most probably just to correctly configure GRUB when you've
already compiled everything successfully. And thus, GRUB manual might be a
nice reference.

Happy hacking!
