MorphOS is very nice system. There can be prepared linux partition from .image under MorphOS, without linux installer or live linux system:
1. Prerequisites: MorphOS, linux root filesystem image stored on network storage SHARE:
2. With HDconfig, add empty partition to your disk ( in this example it is first partition on ide.device:1 ). Partition must be large enough to hold linux image. Change filesystem to Custom.
3. type in shell:
Code:
copy DIRECT SHARE:linux.img rawdisk:Devices/ide.device/1/RDB/partition00
4. wait some longer time... ( maybe you can play with BUFFER in copy command to speed things ?)
5. that´s all, reboot to firmware, use yout linux kernel to boot and this new partition /dev/sdb1 like rootfs.
P.S. I know, it is probably nothing new, but for me it is for the first time to install linux only with help of MorphOS!
