PI - slitaz together with raspbian

I start to work on a slitaz-ola image for the PI - I already have OLA-Raspian-Pi  my SD-Card

To install the slitaz image, do I need berryboot - http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot - or is it possible to do it from the Fat32 bootpartion?

Maybe somebody has already experience?

I know, that it works with berryboot, but I hoped, I can avoid this....

Re: PI - slitaz together with raspbian

1- In the boot partition :

Create a frugal base slitaz initramfs including http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-arm/raw-file/tip/rpi/piboot

Create one subdirectory per OS and according config.txt, kernel, cmdline.txt and initramfs if needed.

(Move config.txt and cmdline.txt to the raspbian subdirectory)

Create a config.txt in root directory to start the frugal slitaz.

Create a menu.txt in root directory like:

title=Boot menu

subtitle=Choose the OS to start

default=slitaz

timeout=30

kmap=us

Create a cmdline.txt in root directory like

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait kmap=us rdinit=/sbin/piboot quiet

The file slitaz/cmdline.txt will look like

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 subroot=var/slitaz rootwait kmap=us quiet

see http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:uncommoninst#subdirectory-install-in-a-posix-filesystem

2- In the raspbian partition, install slitaz in var/slitaz

3- Optional: you can have a full slitaz frugal boot entry (even with 256Mb RAM), a web boot entry ...

Re: PI - slitaz together with raspbian

This script may help: http://hg.slitaz.org/slitaz-arm/raw-file/tip/rpi/tazbian

It creates a raspbian package http://tank.slitaz.org/~bellard/slitaz-20140329-1_armhf.deb

to install on the rpi.

It install SliTaz in /var/os/slitaz and update the boot.

The bad news: it's not tested and buggy

Re: PI - slitaz together with raspbian

Hi guys,

Yesterday I created a disk image for slitaz-rpi-base-20140329.

It is verified to work and in compressed format the file is 64MB.

Boots from SD or via qemu. Qemu bootline:

qemu-system-armw -kernel kernel-qemu -cpu arm1176 -m 256 -M versatilepb -no-reboot -serial stdio -append "root=/dev/sda3 rw panic=1 rootfstype=ext4" -hda slitaz-rpi-base-20140329.img -net nic -net tap,ifname=TAP0

Any interest to make this available for download?

I was unable to attach it to a forum post.

Please let me know how/where to upload.
