Boot Dreambox from anything - no BIOS change needed
As usual - if you chose to do it - do it at your own risk
what's needed: 1) a storage device 2) Telnet & FTP client's 3) nfidump ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) boot your dreambox and connect via telnet 2) check if storage is mounted and umount it (USB, MC, HDD)
a) print mount table: mount b) umount storage (anithing pointing to your device /dev/sda* /dev/sdb* /dev/disk/...*):
umount /mnt/HDD /mnt/usb ...
3) create Linux partition via telnet:
a) fdisk /dev/sda b) print ( p ) partition table and clear it ( d ) c) create partitions (as many as you like) 1 needs to be LINUX EXT3 or 4 (this post is based on 2 partition example) d) write config ( w ) e) format partitions: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 ( and 2)
4) mount formatted partitions:
a) create mount points (if not exist) mkdir /mnt/sda1 (and 2) b) mount /dev/sda1 (and 2) /mnt/sda1 (and 2)
5) copy your .nfi image to storage device (found copying to 2nd partition best) -- OpenATV 5.1 not working (/usr/bin/enigma2.sh: line 104: 2240 Segmentation fault) newnigma2 works perfectly
6) extract .nfi:
a) nfidump --overwrite /mnt/sda2/image.nfi /mnt/sda1
7) update boot directory
a) mount -o remount,rw /boot b) copy and overwrite the kernel cp /mnt/boot/vmlinux.gz /boot (or you can FTP it) c) update both autoexec*.bat to:
