make_boot_tape on cd

[Richard Briggs]

Is there a document that describes the procedure for making a "make_boot_tape" cdrom (that is: I want a bootable cdrom that acts like a make_boot_tape)

your wish is hp's command... take a look at the ignite doc specific to creating cdrom:

I'm just wanting a make_boot_tape.... not an entire install cdrom... is this covered?

Hi Richard:

I think you want: "Building an Install CD-ROM" in chapter-10 ("Creating Your Own Install Media") in the "Ignite-UX Administration Guide":

Hi (again) Richard:

If you want specifics on making a boot tape, see the same manual, same chapter, "Building an Install Tape".

OK... I want a make_boot_tape on a cdrom.


NOT an install cdrom
NOT an install tape
NOT a make_boot_tape

I'd like to make a cdrom that acts like a make_boot_tape. I know it's kinda confusing..but maybe that will clear it up...thanks in advance.

Look at the post by Michael Roberts...
step by step how to copy contents of make_boot_tape to cdrom and then burn the cdrom and make it bootable.

James...did you mean to post a blank entry?

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi Richard:

"Blank entry"? No, my previous post was saying, look at chapter-10, titled "Creating Your Own Install Media" *and* the subsections "Building an Install Tape" and/or "Building an Install CD-ROM" in the "Ignite-UX Administration Guide"
