5. Power up the Mediant 1000.
6. On the Terminal screen, the BIOS phase will start and the Linux™ installation will
begin. The installation will uncompress the kernel, load it and its drivers and start the
interactive installation.
Note: After the BIOS phase, some badly formatted text may appear on the
screen.
Note: From this point on, you should proceed with the screen instructions, as
instructed by your Linux distributor.
7. During the installation process, the system may reboot at some stage. In this case,
you will need to remove the CD from the CD ROM device.
8. During the installation of the 5th CD , the following items should be configured:
• Username and password.
• Firewall configuration: In the 'firewall selection/configuration' screen, select
Firewall: disabled. In some distributions, you may have to select the Change
option and set the configuration to 'manual'. This disables the firewall.
• Network interfaces: The installation sets your network configuration to DHCP by
default. If you plan to connect to the system immediately after the installation
you’ll either have to know the IP address assigned to you by the DHCP or set a
static IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
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 to install multiple Mediant 1000 stations.
