Step-by-Step Procedure
To initialize the flash card, install it in the server, and load the MPS
system software do the following:
Step 1 Insert the MPS system software CD into your computer, then reboot.
—Linux status messages display, followed by a video mode prompt.
Step 2 Press Space to accept the default video mode. A keyboard selection
prompt displays.
Step 3 Press Enter to accept the default keyboard configuration. A Linux
command prompt displays.
Step 4 Enter root as the login ID, then enter xxxx as the password (the
password entry will not display on the screen).
—The Linux command prompt changes to #, in
dicating you are logged in
as a root user.
You must enter these values exactly as they are shown here because the Linux
operating system, unlike Windows, is case-sensitive. That is, root and Root are not
identical.
Be careful to enter the values in the rema
ining steps exactly as they are shown,
including spaces.
Step 5 Type the following at the command prompt, then press Enter:
/bin/dmesg | grep hd
—A list of configured devices on your PC displa
ys, designated hda, hdb,
hdc, etc.
Step 6 Use the list of displayed devices to locate your laptop’s hard drive and
CD-ROM drive. Write down their designations (hda, hdc, etc.) so you will
remember them.
It is critical you correctly identify your CD-ROM and internal hard drive from the list of
displayed devices. You will need the correct designation in later steps to select which
device will be formatted.
Linux identifies drives on you
r computer with the hd designation, plus a letter starting
with a and continuing alphabetically. Commonly, the internal hard drive is hda and
the internal CD-ROM is hdc. However, your configuration may be different. You can
identify your drives using the information displayed after the previous step. For
example, here is a possible drive listing:
hda: HTS54809349, ATA disk drive
hdc: Samsung CDRW-DVD, ATAPI CD-ROM drive
hda: HTS54809349, 76319MB w/ 7877kB cache
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM CD-RW drive, 2048kB cache
hda: hda1, hda2
This listing shows the internal 80MB hard drive as hd
a. You can easily identify the
CD-ROM drive as hdc.
