Download pdaXrom-ng bootable
To boot pdaXrom-ng to YeeLoong 8089 notebook you should download http://mail.pdaxrom.org/downloads/lemote/pdaXrom-ng-yeelong-8089-n32-20090825.tgz file.
Boot from USB flash drive
Copy pdaXrom-ng distribution to USB flash drive.
Please note, that flash partitions must be ext2 or ext3.
Then unpack the zip file to USB root directory.
For system booting use a PMON2000 command line. For that turn on a YeeLoong 8089 notebook and press DEL.
Enter the following commands in appeared command line:
load /dev/fs/ext2@usb0/boot/vmlinux initrd /dev/fs/ext2@usb0/boot/initrd.img g console=tty root=/dev/ram0 no_auto_cmd
Boot from hard drive
To boot the system to hard drive you should unpack pdaXrom-ng-yeeloong-xxxx.zip file to HD root directory.
Before unpacking, be sure that boot/vmlinux, boot/initrd.img, boot/rootfs.img and boot/boot.conf files do not overwrite existed files located in the same directory.
To prevent files replacement it is highly recommended select another partition. For instance, use hda4. Mount the partition and unpack the archive to it.
Create /boot directory in HD bootable partition and copy boot.conf to it.
If the directory and file have been already existed (another system is installed), you should edit that boot.conf file by adding strings from pdaXrom-ng configuration file ("default", "timeout"and "showmenu" must be excepted) to it.
Don't forget change a path to the files if you use another HD partition.
For example:
- /dev/fs/ext2@wd0/boot/vmlinux - the first HD partition
- /dev/fs/ext2@wd0b/boot/vmlinux - the second HD partition
- /dev/fs/ext2@wd0c/boot/vmlinux - the third HD partition
If everything is ok, pdaXrom-ng menu item will be displayed after the next booting.
