[Planetlab-devel] bootcd_v3 for wireless/mesh myplc

[Chan, Winson C]

Is there a dependency to resolve the hostname of the boot server?  I
enabled the DNS server that comes with myplc.  Do I need to update
/etc/resolv.conf on nodes to include where the primary DNS server is
located?  Or is this automatically configured during the boot process by
some scripts in the boot CD?

My copy of myplc has it in /plc/data/var/www/html/boot.  However, if you
are
trying to add new software to the system, I would suggest modifying the
overlay.img file in /plc/root/usr/share/bootcd/build/isofs. Note that
the
build.sh file in /plc/root/usr/share/bootcd creates the overlay.img file
on
the fly (around line 100 or so; look for the "overlay=$(mktemp"
substring).
You could just copy your wireless software to the $overlay directory at
that
point in time.

Best regards,
Marc
