CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE

There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:

MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:

1) Save the "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. 
Use WINZIP to extract "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd" 
from this file into the same directory.
Please ensure that "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd" is a DOS 8.3 name. 

2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 CD in the "dosutil" directory.

3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "ProLiant RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Driver Diskette". 
Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands 
(assuming your ProLiant Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:)

	C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite 

Enter disk image source file name: mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd
Enter target diskette drive: a: 
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter


MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:

1)  Save the "mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract
"mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd" from this file into the same directory

2)  To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write
to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux)

3)  First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (ProLiant RedHat Enterprise Linux 2.1 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette
into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:

	# dd if=mptlinux-{version}-(release).{distro}.{buildtype}.dd  of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (if=cpq_cciss-{version}.{buildtype}.{buildtype}.dd) to an
output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB).  To make another diskette label that diskette,
and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.
