Forum Topic - x86 bios BSP image installation: (2 Items)
   
x86 bios BSP image installation  
Is there a process for installing a custom image on an x86 bios machine wihtout installing the default Neutrino 
installation?  After I build the image how do I get it onto the target machine's HD without having Neutrino already 
installed there.
I am hosting my development on Windows.
Thanx!
RE: x86 bios BSP image installation  
You can try using Grub BootLoader in order to accomplish this:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
Manual: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html#Top
There is also wiki page available.

Grub boots up (from CD for example) listens for commands through the serial
cable. Then you can start the dhcp client to get an ip followed by a
tftpboot which downloads the image from a server and loads the Neutrino
image in to RAM.

Similar concept should be easy to use in order to start Grub from target's
HDD and download the Neutrino image on the HDD.

Hope this helps!
