2.2.2.3 CPIO Format Distributions
If the files on your distribution media are in cpio format, use the cpio command to
retrieve them. Here is an example of the
cpio command (the device on your system
might be different):
cpio -ivduBm < /dev/rst0
The cpio command creates a directory called freeway in the /usr/local directory and cop-
ies the software into it from the distribution media.
2.2.3 Modify the Boot and Load Files
Edit the boot configuration and load files to match your Freeway setup.
Your Freeway can be set up to use both physical ICP boards and virtual ICP devices.
(Virtual ICPs, or ICP_IP devices, behave just like physical ICP boards except that they
transmit and receive data via an IP network rather than via a serial line.) You must mod-
ify one
freeway/boot/bootcfg file to include all the information needed.
If you are only using physical ICP boards, edit the boot configuration and load files to
match your Freeway setup as described in this section. For further information about
the boot configuration file, see Section 3.2.
If you are only using virtual ICP devices (ICP_IP), edit the
bootcfg.ip configuration file
as described in Section 3.2.1 on page 108.
If you are using both physical ICP boards and virtual ICP devices, modify one
free-
way/boot/bootcfg
file to include all the information needed for each of the physical
devices (ICP boards, described in this section) and virtual devices (ICP_IP devices,
described in Section 3.2.1 on page 108) in your system. Be sure that only one instance
of each
device_name is used in this file.
