Programming Bootloaders
by Amol Hatwar 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

One of my friends is trying to get into hacking bootloaders. Most of them are based on C and Assembly. Has somebody been this way before? And is it possible to get it done without keeping all the rigisters in your brain ;) (i.e. w/o assembly). Regards, -ah

distro for installfests
by Ashish Kulkarni 19 Nov '02

http://interviews.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/11/18/141251 Hey guys, After reading this slashdot article, I was really struck by the point made there, that you could use a Knoppix Linux _without any chance of damage to your PC_. It's based on Debian, and it's perfect for those who wanna evaluate it. (For those hearing for the first time, it's a "Live" CD -- ie no need to install, just boots off the CD). I've noticed that LinuxPlaza has it too :-) What do you think? - A.

Yes, it IS doable without keeping all the registers in your brain and No you can not do it without assembly. Writing all the important registers on paper would surely help a lot. :) The easiest way is a small hack into the bootloader, which would be then be placed at the start of SDRAM, to take the kernel bootable from some other location in memory. Again, techniques depend from chip to chip. Take your pick. I don't think in this hack you can intervene the loader via serial port/etc/etc and the loader would directly access that location but I am not sure of this feature. Which bootloader would you use? Choose one with minimal appendages. hth _h

Hi Abhijit Your requirement seems quite straightforward. 5 comps in client server. Does that mean 5 comps in lan with one router (Gateway) one file server etc. It should work smoothly. What are the problems you are exactly facing ? Where is your setup located ? Regards Abhijeet
