. First and foremost, before beginning the installation process, .Em make sure you have a reliable backup of any data on the target system that you wish to keep. Mistakes in e.g. partitioning your hard disk may lead to data loss. . .Ss2 Preparation for the Intel IQ80310 The IQ80310 uses RedBoot firmware from Red Hat, Inc. RedBoot supports loading the kernel via the serial port and the on-board Ethernet. These notes assume that the Ethernet will be used to load the kernel. RedBoot uses the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to load the kernel via the network.

p These notes also assume that the IQ80310 will be run as a diskless system; that an NFS server will provide the root file system. The .Nx kernel uses the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain network address and root file system information.

p The first step is to configure your DHCP, NFS, and TFTP server software. You will need the MAC address for the on-board Ethernet, which RedBoot can provide; see the RedBoot documentation for more information.

p The next step is to configure RedBoot to obtain its IP address from your DHCP server; see the RedBoot documentation for more information.

p Once your DHCP server and RedBoot are properly configured, you should see information similar to the following when the IQ80310 is reset or powered-up: d -literal RedBoot(tm) debug environment - built 17:16:14, Feb 12 2001 Platform: IQ80310 (XScale) Copyright (C) 2000, Red Hat, Inc.
