NAME

tip32 - create "piggyback" style boot images for SGI/MIPS IP32 machines

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/tip32 <vmlinux> <initrd> <outfile>
 

DESCRIPTION

tip32 is used on SGI/MIPS IP32 machines (SGI O2) to embed kernel and initial ramdisk into one ELF image which can then be booted by the ARCS PROM. This is usually used to create tftp boot images.

USAGE

<vmlinux> is the ELF kernel you want to embed into the bootimage
<initrd> is the (optionally gzip compressed) initial ramdisk
<outfile> is the resulting tftpboot image
 

SEE ALSO

arcboot(8).

AUTHORS

Tip32 is an adaption of tip22, which is the equivalent for SGI IP22 machines. Tip22 was written by Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org> and borrows heavily from arcboot written by Ralf Bächle <ralf@gnu.org> and Guido Günther.
