Version 0.2

This procedure must be done as root on a machine that can mount a Compact Flash device as a disk drive.  You will also need grub installed.  If starting from a stage2 tarfile skip the first part of this.

wget http://www.personaltelco.net/download/bewitched/stage1-0.2.tgz
mkdir readonly
cd readonly
tar xzf ../stage1-0.2.tgz

edit etc/resolv.conf.default
        set up as appropriate for network config
                suggestion use maus as a nameserve
                    untill final configuration:
                "search personaltelco.net"
                "nameserver 204.245.198.90"

edit root/bin/mountu
        change /dev/hda4 to /dev/hda2

edit boot/grub/menu.lst
        change line: "terminal --timeout=10 serial console"
        to: "terminal --timeout=0 serial"
        change all instances(3) of: "console=tty0"
        to: "ramdisk_size=16384"
        delete lines "savedefault"

edit etc/init.d/mountall.sh
        before the line "mount -avt nonfs,nosmbfs,noncpfs,noproc"
        change "mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda3" to "mkfs.ext2 /dev/ram0"

edit etc/fstab
        change "/dev/hda3" to "/dev/ram0"
        delete lines for floppy, cdrom and swap (/dev/hda4)
        change "/dev/hda4" to "/dev/hda2"

edit etc/modules
        change "ne" to "natsemi"
        delete line "hostap_plx"

edit etc/default/pcmcia
        change "PCIC=i82365"" to "PCIC=yenta_socket"

edit etc/network/interfaces
        configure network as appropriate
                iface wlan0 inet static
                        address 10.11.0.1
                        netmask 255.255.255.0
                        network 10.11.0.0
                        broadcast 10.11.0.255
                        pre-up iwconfig wlan0 mode master
                        pre-up iwconfig wlan0 channel 1
                        pre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid www.personaltelco.net


# remove ssh keys
rm etc/ssh/*key*

mkdir dev proc var
ln -s /var/tmp tmp

at this point you can run "tar czf ../stage2-0.2.tgz *"

Start here if you already have a stage2 tarfile. Substitute the device name of the Compact flash for /dev/hde. You can do a "wget http://www.personaltelco.net/download/bewitched/stage2-0.2.tgz" to get the file.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hde count=100
cfdisk /dev/hde
        hde1 125m       bootable
        hde2 (the rest of the device)

mkfs.ext2 /dev/hde1
mount /dev/hde1 /mnt/tmp

tar -C /mnt/tmp -xzf stage2-0.2.tgz
umount /mnt/tmp

mkfs.ext3 /dev/hde2

run grub and enter the following commands
        device (hd0) /dev/hde
        root (hd0,0)
        setup (hd0)
        quit

At this point the CF is ready for first boot in the soecris box. Go to ConfigureBeWitched for infromation on how to configure.
