Nortel Contivity 1010 Slackware 12.0 Mini Distribution by PhreakMonkey http://phreakmonkey.com/ No warranties. INSTALLATION: These instructions require you to know where your CF interface shows up in your device table. I put /dev/sdX to prevent people from copy-and-pasting the scripts and wiping out existing SCSI HD partitions. Use "dmesg" to see where your shows up and substitute sdX with the APPROPRIATE device name. I Flash Card You must have a CF card at least 128M with 1 partition formatted as EXT3. E.g.: If your USB CF interface shows up as /dev/sdX: - Insert CF card # fdisk /dev/sdX d)elete any partitions c)reate new partition using whole card w)rite partiton # mke2fs -m 2 -j /dev/sdX1 II Mount flash card somewhere on system. We'll use /mnt/flash. (mkdir /mnt/flash if necessary, or substitute another mount point.) # mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/flash III Extract c1010 distribution into newly formatted CF card: (Subtitute /PATH/TO for the directory where you put these files.) # cd /mnt/flash # tar -xvpf /PATH/TO/Slackware-c1010-dist.tar.bz2 # sync IV Install LILO boot loader onto the MBR of the card. (Requires your system to have lilo on it. Substitute device and mount point from above steps.) # lilo -r /mnt/flash -b /dev/sdX Note: This will generate warnings. As long as you see the message "Added Linux-c1010 *" then you're in good shape. V Unmount flash disk and install into the C1010. # umount /mnt/flash ------ That's it! If the above steps went well, you should have a working Contivity 1010 running Slackware Linux 12.0 with iptables support, OpenVPN, and SSH. The default setup will request DHCP info from LAN0 and serve DHCP addresses for the 192.168.35.0/24 network on LAN1. It will also operate as a proxy DNS server and a NAT router for any hosts on LAN1. - Console port: 9600,n,8,1 - default root password: c1010 - ssh access is only enabled on LAN1 (192.168.35.1) by default. - / is Read-Only, with /tmp, /var, &etc mapped to a 32MB ramdisk - run "readwrite.sh" after login in to make / read-write for customization, &etc. Have fun! - phreakmonkey
