Basic How-to copy to harddrive and install it
1- Make a new Primary partition that is over the size of the iso. Format it as ext2
Notes: Logical partitions do not work. This is because of grub sending the wrong data to the second boot loader
2- Mount the partition as /mnt/isoroot
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/isoroot
mount /dev/partition /mnt/isoroot
Code: Select all
mkdir /mnt/iso
mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso /mnt/iso
Code: Select all
cp -r /mnt/iso/* /mnt/isoroot/
Code: Select all
cp -r /mnt/isoroot/isolinux/* /mnt/isoroot/
6- We'll be using extlinux so:
Code: Select all
mv /mnt/isoroot/isolinux.cfg /mnt/isoroot/extlinux.conf
Code: Select all
mv /mnt/isoroot/isolinux.txt /mnt/isoroot/isolin.txt
rm -rf /mnt/isoroot/isolinux*
mv /mnt/isoroot/isolin.txt /mnt/isoroot/isolinux.txt
Code: Select all
emerge syslinux
extlinux --install /mnt/isoroot
Code: Select all
TITLE Sabayon Installer
rootnoverify (Drive,Partition)
chainloader +1
Hi, I want to install the latest version of sabayon without having to burn it to a DVD.
Would it be possible?
I'm currently using Sabayon miniEdition and I want to upgrade to the full version (beta if possible)
