Freeway Server-Resident Application (SRA) Programmer Guide
The following procedure is an example of updating the bootcfg file on the Freeway
server using the CDROM update method.
Step 1: If you have a copy of the original bootcfg file on your client system or PC, edit
this file to make the desired changes, or create a new
bootcfg file from scratch.
Step 2: Create a text file called command.sh on your client system or PC. Edit the file
such that it contains the following text (lines starting with pound sign ‘#’ are ignored by
the shell):
# update the bootcfg file from cdrom
echo “Updating bootcfg file”
mount -u -o rw /usr
cp -p /cdrom/bootcfg /usr/local/freeway/boot.src
mount -u -o ro /usr
echo “bootcfg file updated”
Step 3: Use the CD writing software on your PC to create a CD-R with the two files
(
bootcfg and command.sh) in the root directory. You may also use a CD-RW if you plan
to make several updates. That way you can just erase the CD and use it over again.
Step 4: Place the CDROM in the Freeway’s CD/DVD drive and reboot the Freeway
server. If you watch the boot-up procedure on the Freeway console, you should be able
to see the “echo” text lines printed on the console at the end of the normal boot
sequence.
Step 5: Remove the CDROM from the Freeway’s CD/DVD drive and reboot the
Freeway server again. The Freeway server will use the updated
bootcfg file during this
boot-up procedure.
4.2.4 Text Files: Windows vs. UNIX
The format of text files differs slightly between Windows (DOS) and UNIX operating
systems. In Windows, each text line ends with two ASCII characters: line feed and car-
riage return. However, UNIX uses only a line feed character to end each text line. As a
consequence, some Windows text files may not work properly on UNIX systems.
