3. Insert the Red Hat CD into the drive.

4. Boot the system using the "boot" command. The result should be that the system boots from

the CD.

If during this process you encounter a problem, such as due to a typographic error in the setting of

the SRM parameters, you will probably be stopped with an "aboot>" prompt. The best way to

deal with this situation is to reset the system using the reset button on the front panel. Then using

the SRM commands, correct the mistake, and repeat the "boot" process.

Software Installation

The Red Hat version used in the testing for this guide has a simple installation program. Most of

the devices available with the AlphaStations can be correctly autodetected by Red Hat. Testing

for this Solutions Guide was performed using Red Hat Linux version 6.1.

During the boot process, you may see messages about "IDE STO" errors. These can be safely

ignored.

When configuring "Timezones", select "EST" for the timezone, or the value that is appropriate

for your location.

X11 GUI Installation

The new Red Hat 6.1 installation is capable of creating and editing the BSD Disk Labels through

the use of Disk Druid and automatically installs and configures aboot. It also adds a configuration

file for aboot that makes booting more simple that in previous versions.

After booting, the installation program begins by displaying the language screen. Using the

mouse point and click on the next button. The GUI is easy to follow. If you decided to install the

X Window System, the amount of video RAM available on the Elsa Gloria Card is 8

megabytes. Please refer to the Red Hat Installation guide for further details.

Post-Installation

System Resource Manager Configuration

After the software has been loaded to the disk, the system will attempt to reboot. Before it begins

the bootup process, press the front panel reset button. This will stop the bootup process, and

allow you to make the final configuration changes to be able to boot directly from the disk,

instead of the floppy or CD-ROM. You should now be at the SRM prompt, "P00>>>". Enter the

following commands to finalize the configuration.

You need to enter these commands, such that the drive reference on the second line needs to refer

to the drive which you installed to:

1 2 ... 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ... 55 56
