Hi,
There are 2 disks(disk1, disk2), 2 processors(both p4) on my board. The
communication between the two processors is via the PCI bridge.
Processor 1 is running psos that has disk1.
Processor 2 disk is empty(new one. Not formatted, not partitioned). I want
to make the processor 2 boot with linux.
I have an idea of keeling one image(bootable image) in disk1. When the BIOS
of processor 2 completes, it finds that there
is nothing in the disk2. So it asks for the processor1 to give the bootable
image. Now the bios will execute the bootable image which will
partition(only one in this case) the disk, create a file system on it,
install the boot loader on the disk and then resets itself to comeup with
the installed image.
Is this a good approach?
If so, how can i create a bootable image?
what risks that can be foreseen?
Thanks
Uday
