Debian on the TS-219¶
Notes.
Installation¶
Debian «squeeze», expert install.
Disk setup¶
/dev/sda1and/dev/sdb1→/dev/md0(raid1)/dev/md0→/dev/mapper/md0_crypt(dmcrypt)/dev/mapper/md0_crypt→/dev/mapper/fry-{root,var,tmp,swap,home}(LVM2)
Needed to adjust /etc/crypptab (had strange, not-working UUID=… stuff in it):
md0_crypt /dev/md0 none luks
Reminder for dmcrypt/lvm stuff:
mdadm /dev/md0 --run cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0 md0_crypt pvscan vgchange -ay fry mount /dev/mapper/fry-... /target/... ... cp -rav /dev/mapper /target/dev
MAC address¶
Debian (Linux) takes MAC address from u-boot environment, which is the wrong one. I configured the real MAC address from the sticker:
Marvell>> printenv ethaddr ethaddr=00:00:00:00:05:09 Marvell>> setenv ethaddr-orig 00:00:00:00:05:09 Marvell>> setenv ethaddr 00:08:9B:8C:27:79 Marvell>> saveenv Saving Environment to Flash... ................................................................ . Un-Protected 1 sectors Erasing Flash... . Erased 1 sectors Writing to Flash... done ................................................................ . Protected 1 sectors
ssh in initrd (to unlock the crypted device)¶
aptitude install dropbear busybox
