[IAEP] A proposal from Trisquel (Was Re: [SoaS] [DP] Announcing the creation of a SoaS Decision Panel)

[Sebastian Silva]

I'm trying to boot into TOAST from an SD card.
I created it using usb-creator included in Trisquel GNU.
As per instructions from Ruben I created a /boot/olpc.fth and
copied respective files into initrd.img and vmlinuz.

The contents of my olpc.fth file are:

\ Boot script for SD Boot
\ created from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Custom_bootloader
" ro boot=casper rootdelay=1 splash console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0
fbcon=font:SUN12x22" to boot-file
" sd:\boot\vmlinuz" to boot-device
" sd:\boot\initrd.img" to ramdisk
unfreeze
boot

Nevertheless, can't boot. It freezes.
Clues please? Anyone done this?

Regards from Lima
