Operating Systems SCO SYSBAKP - Create emercency boot disk Post 302171324 by jgt on Thursday 28th of February 2008 07:02:17 AM
Old 02-28-2008
On SCO OpenServer release 6.0.0, and presumably Unixware 7.1 see the following:

#man emergency_disk

On 5.0.7 and older, you need to ensure that cdrecord is installed, and modify /usr/lib/mkdev/fd to create a diskette image rather than actual media, and then copy the image to cd.

XT-CUSTOMIZE-IMAGE(8)					 Perl Programmers Reference Guide				     XT-CUSTOMIZE-IMAGE(8)

NAME
xt-customize-image - Customize a freshly installed copy of GNU/Linux SYNOPSIS
xt-customize-image [options] Help Options: --help Show this scripts help information. --manual Read this scripts manual. --version Show the version number and exit. Debugging Options: --verbose Be verbose in our execution. Mandatory Options: --location The location of the new installation --dist The name of the distribution which has been installed. All other options from xen-create-image, such as the new IP address(es) to give to the new instance, will be passed as environmental variables. NOTES
This script is invoked by xen-create-image after it has created a fresh installation of Linux withing a temporary location. This script will be invoked with a full copy of the arguments from xen-create-image in its environment, along with several command line arguments. The command line arguments which are mandatory are: --location - The temporary installation root of the new install --dist - The distribution which has been installed. HOOK SCRIPTS
The distribution name is used to locate an appropriate collection of scripts, or hooks, to execute to do the actual customisation. The hooks will each be executed with a single parameter which is the directory path to the new instance. This argument is taken from the --location option. For the distribution named 'foo' the scripts will be loaded and executed from '/usr/lib/xen-tools/foo.d'. Each executable will be loaded and executed in sorted order. AUTHORS
