The information presented here gives some general guidance on Linux installation set up. Specific
Linux release information must be consulted for getting boot and install content, setting up content
on an installation server, and required options in the EFI boot configuration file.
The /etc/bootptab content to enable Linux boot for installation might look like the following.
linuxsys2:\
ht:=ether:\
ha=001560045A4A:\
ip=10.1.1.221:\
hn:\
sm=255.255.255.0:\
gw=10.1.1.1:\
nt=10.1.1.11:\
ds=10.1.1.11:\
bf=/opt/ignite/boot/LINUX/elilo-ia64.efi:\
bp=10.1.1.11
Once all the content has been set up, the HP-UX server should have Linux boot and installation
enabled.
Use EFI network boot to start the boot and installation process.
Installation options specified in the elilo-ia64.conf file will be displayed as formatted by the
hplinux.msg file.
IMPORTANT: If the message file is missing or incorrect, the system might display a blank screen
when elilo boots. If this happens, you should be able to use CTRL-c to exit the boot loader and
return to the EFI boot menu.
Select the desired distribution for boot and installation.
