your setup.<br><br>Directory structure ::<br><br> tftpboot<br> ├── menu.lst.10.110.4.51 -> shindep/menu.lst<br> ├── pxegrub-undi<br> ├── tftpboot.nos5 -> ./pxegrub-undi<br> └── shindep<br> ├── menu.lst<br> ├── skb_ramfs.cpio.gz<br> └── x86_64<br> └── sbin<br> ├── NGD_mng<br> ├── acpi<br> ├── ahci_bench<br> ├── .....<br> ├── .....<br> ├── .....<br> ├── lot of
binary images<br><br>While installing the barrelfish, you can use following prefix to get files<br>in proper place ::<br><br> make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/tftpboot/shindep<br><br>What you need to note that tftp configuration will point the boot process to<br>``tftpboot.nos5`` file, which is essentially a symbolic link to ``pxegrub-undi``<br>from grub installation. Here is a sample tftp configuration which configures<br>the tftp booting for the machine ``nos5`` ::<br><br> host nos5-boot-interface {<br> hardware ethernet 00:0f:53:07:4d:64;<br> fixed-address 10.110.4.51;<br> filename "tftpboot.nos5";<br> }<br><br><br>Also, the ``menu.lst.10.110.4.51`` is symbolic link to the ``shindep/menu.lst``<br>which is slightly modified version of ``menu.lst`` from your install directory.<br>The changes are mostly related to the
paths. Following is small part of<br>``menu.lst`` to give you an idea how paths should be modified<br>according to your directory structure (note the prefix ``/shindep/``<br>in each entry) ::<br><br> title barrelfish image<br> root (nd)<br> kernel /shindep/x86_64/sbin/elver loglevel=4<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/cpu loglevel=4<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/init<br><br> # Domains spawned by init<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/mem_serv<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/monitor<br><br> # Special boot time domains spawned by monitor<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/ramfsd boot<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/skb boot<br><br> modulenounzip /shindep/skb_ramfs.cpio.gz nospawn<br><br>
module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/kaluga boot<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/acpi boot<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/spawnd boot<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/startd boot<br> module /shindep/x86_64/sbin/routing_setup boot<br><br> .... and lot of other files ....<br><br><br>Essentially, DHCP will instruct the tftboot loader to download and use<br>``tftpboot.nos5`` for booting. This file is part of grub bootloader<br>``pxegrub-undi`` and will then download and use ``menu.lst`` to figure out<br>which other modules to download. Once it has downloaded all files, it will<br>give the control to ``elver`` (it should be there after doing ``make install``<br>on Barrelfish). Then elver will do rest of the loading for Barrelfish and<br>then pass the control to cpu driver.<br><br>I hope that all this information will be helpful to you for setting up<br>the
infrastructure.<br><br>Regards,<br>Pravin<br><br><br>On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 7:17 AM, Kornilios Kourtis<br><<a ymailto="mailto:kornilios.kourtis@inf.ethz.ch" href="mailto:kornilios.kourtis@inf.ethz.ch">kornilios.kourtis@inf.ethz.ch</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi Jiban,<br>><br>> On Thu, Sep 05, 2013 at 03:57:41AM -0700, jiban sarma wrote:<br>>> Hello All,<br>>><br>>> Today I have got a set up to install barrelfish on real hardware.
