postdeals 0 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 What does this include? How do i use this to load up on my esx server? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hussain 0 Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 What does this include? How do i use this to load up on my esx server? this is just the bootloader which is used to install and boot xpenology... you just need to boot from it, and install the system using either web or synology assistant. once you get it installed, set your boot priority in bios to boot from cd. and you're done.

Username9876 0 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Sorry to ask what is probably a basic question, but if I want to use this with Trantor's build, do I also need to use his .img file or just his .pat file? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fonix232 6 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 This also makes updating the boot drive impossible (except if you use a rewritable CD, or burn multiple ones). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hussain 0 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 This also makes updating the boot drive impossible (except if you use a rewritable CD, or burn multiple ones). if you change your boot/config that often, then i can upload a version that boots the bootloader from the internal hard drive... and in this case, you'll have to put the bootloader files on the hard drive using ssh.. and then boot from the cd which will read those files.

manfriday 5 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks for this! For me, booting from a USB attached CD and then removing CD player and disk would be practical. Having read & re read I am not clear on the following... I need to leave the CD in place after XPEn.. is running? Cheers MF Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers MF The bootloader contains the kernel image, which is definitely needed at some point, otherwise it will throw a lot of errors and may break the system..

shackwove 0 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well with the USB method you definitely can and should remove it after the system has booted, should be the same with the CD? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lori_2001 0 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The cd can stay in cd-rom, it is read only, nothing is modified, unlike the usb stick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My image is based on that. Once written on a usb, you can then modify the boot parameters as you prefer. Sent from my C6602 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
