SIP User's Manual 14. Installing Linux™ Operating System on the OSN Server
7. In the 'LILO Installation target', select /dev/hda: Master Boot Record.
Note: The bootloader should detect the serial console. If it doesn’t then either:
a) pass additional parameters to the kernel (configure that using the main
installation menu)
or/and
b) when configuring LILO you should specify that it tells the kernel to use
serial console at speed 115200. In other words append “text
console=ttyS0,115200” to the kernel options using LILO.
If the serial console wasn’t detected during installation, add the following line
to the LILO’s configuration file after the installation: “serial=0,115200”
8. In the next screen, the installation should display the following:
LILO is configured to use serial port ttyS0 as the console.
The serial port speed is set to 115200.
Select Continue; the 'Finish the installation' screen appears followed by 'Installation
complete'.
9. Remove the CD and close the CD-ROM drive tray; the system reboots and after the
BIOS phase, the kernel starts being uncompressed.
10. The basic installation is now complete. The 'Debian Configuration' screen should
appear and this is the phase where you select additional packages to be installed.
Note: Ensure that you install telnet and that the ssh packages are installed, so that
you can connect to your newly-installed system in the future (usually installed
by default). From this point on, you should proceed as instructed by your
Linux distributor.
11. After the whole installation has been completed, you will be able login to the system
from the serial console and/or to “ssh” on your Mediant 1000 (to create an SSH
remote connection to it) and to continue its post-installation configuring. You can use
the boot media you have created in order to install multiple Mediant 1000 stations.
