Are you using NC or SE/PE? If you are using NC you can’t do much besides
replace .boot with one of the pre-generated files in /boot/fs/. It doesn’t
do a lot so perhaps you should expand on what you are trying to do.

I’m using RTOS.

There is a couple of thing I want to do on a PC with pantom.

  • I had a second networks adaptor and I need to configure it every time I
    boot and I want to do it automaticly.
  • I want to see how the found my IDE flash device on my PC and correct the
    read only bug on my PC/104+.

Thanks

=== GENERIC GUIDE FOR GETTING HELP ===

Before trying to get ANY help,

  • Write down the exact error message.
    “It freezes” isn’t enough.
    Collect all data from the console output, sloginfo output,
    and booting by full verbose mode on (SPC-F6-F6 on boot)

  • Explain Exactly what your platform is.
    “My Laptop” “My PC104+” is definitely unqualified.

  • Post what devices are available on the platform;
    “the ether embedded on south bridge” isn’t enough.
    Not everybody has access to your platform manual, so
    “the ether embedded on south bridge of AcmeMicro XYZ-123” isn’t enough.

  • For hardware issue, always post output of “pci -vvvv”

  • For software issue, try to post a test program which reproduces
    the problem. (I know this takes lots of effort)

  • For Embedded installation, post the build file if you have built the
    *.ifs yourself.

Write a shell script named /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Put the commands you do
on each bootup in that file.

  • I want to see how the found my IDE flash device on my PC and correct the
    read only bug on my PC/104+.

Not sure I understand what you mean.

I have a IDE flash that work as read and write on a normal PC.
But only work a read on my PC/104+.
I am using RTL 6.1

So I want to see what they do on the PC to get it read/write.

Ahhh. Well, you could check the parameters to all your processes on
both machines using “pidin ar” and compare them. Better yet, how does the
write fail on the PC/104+?
