Boot files

Original boot files are in /daq/daqshare/olchansk/RPI3/bootfs

• use 32GB micro-SD flash
• create MSDOS partition table
• create first partition 64Mbytes type "C", marked bootable
• run mkfs.msdos
• mount on /mnt/tmp, cd /mnt/tmp
• rsync -av /daq/daqshare/olchansk/RPI3/bootfs/ .
• sync
• cd /; umount /mnt/tmp
• eject
• try to boot from the SD flash - on HDMI video, should see Linux kernel boot all the way to a panic on failure to mount rootfs.

CentOS7 rootfs

• use bootable 32GB micro-SD flash
• create second partion of maximum size
• run mkfs.ext4
• mount on /mnt/tmp, cd /mnt/tmp
• rsync -av /ladd/data0/backup.os/armdaq05/ .
• set label "el7" using e2label
• sync
• cd /; umount /mnt/tmp
• eject
• try to boot, should boot all the way to the login prompt.
