Generate fdisk script
This script takes a raw device argument like /dev/hda and writes out a set of commands that can be fed to fdisk to automatically define a partition table for a Mac. The commands are written to a file named fdisk.script, but that can be changed to stdout, if this script needs to called from another script, for example. It is currently only tested for G3 towers, and needs more work and testing
#!/bin/sh
#
# create a set of input commands for fdisk to use to partition a blank
# drive for Macintosh machines.
#
# Partitions are created in the same order that an Ubuntu installation creates
# them:
# 1. partition map
# 2. boot partition
# 3. linux partition
# 4. swap partition
# The partition map is automatically created with length 63. The boot
# partition start block (64) and size (1954) are known (from the Ubuntu model).
# The swap partition size is fixed arbitrary size, chosen to support 512Mb
# of ram and to allow the swap and linux partition lengths to be even.

Replicate Mac Ubuntu Disk: Host to Disk
This script uses a bootpartition image and a copy of the root filesystem, both resident on the host in directory /root, to clone a Mac Ubuntu hard drive. Still needs boot partition mods for correct UUIDs (ybin or mkofboot), and fstab replacement. (The current working version is #genMacDisk.sh)
#!/bin/sh
#
# usage:
# copyMacDisk [-t macType] source-device target-device
# -t macType tweak the relevant files for the target environment
#
# Replicate a Mac Ubuntu disk onto a 'clean' disk; this script assumes
# that the source is a fully installed disk device in its own right and not
# the host on which this script is running. The target device is expected
# to be a 'clean' disk with no partition map.
# [There is an alternate implentation in my mind's eye that has the
# entire rooted file system, or install image, in a directory or partition
# of it's own on the host machine - tr]
#
# 1. Take two arguments, a source device and a target device, and possibly
# an option specifying the target platform
# 2. Verify that the source device has a Mac Ubuntu installation
# 3. Verify that the target device is a 'clean' disk
# 4. Create partitions on the target device
# 5. Create an ext3 filesystem on the linux partition of the target device
# 6. Use dd to copy the source boot partition to the target boot partition
# [There is an alternative: use 'mkofboot' to create an populate the
# target boot partition. In that case this step woujldn't happen until
# until after fstab and yaboot.conf are modified.]
# 7. Use rsync to copy the source linux image to the target linux partition
# 8. modify fstab and yaboot.conf files for target machine environment
# [see step 6]

shrink_initrd.sh
Net install for powerpc currently requires that the file initrd.gz, distributed with the netinstall files, be reduced in size and mutated from a compressed cpio archive to a cramfs filesystem. The comments in the script pretty much tell the story.
#!/bin/bash # # in case you want to know too much about why things aren't working: #set -x #set -v # # The goal here is to translate 'initrd.gz', a gzipped cpio archive, # to CRAMFS version of the same thing, while reducing the size of the # resulting file to something under 6MB. The reasons for doing so # are discussed elsewhere. See, for example, # http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php?title=User:Tonyr/Journal/Apr07&action=edit§ion=9 # and other related entries. # # The file to be translated is one of the netboot files in Ubuntu distributions. The files # for the Ubuntu Feisty(7.04) release are available at # http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot # The files for Edgy(6.10) and Gutsy(7.10 pre-release) are also available. # # This script expects one argument, a filename, which is expected to be an initrd file # in one of the formats 'gzipped cpio archive', 'cpio archive', or CRAMFS. The directory # structure is extracted, a purely subjective set of files is removed from the resulting # direcortory tree, and that result is re-compressed into both gzipped cpio and CRAMFS # forms, which are placed in the same directory as the original input file. # (As of 18Sep07, the CRAMFS extraction is not implemented, but a commented-out # section of code suggests the process for that.) # # usage: shrink_initrd.sh file_pathname # # input: a compressed initial ram file system in gzipped cpio format or # CRAMFS format # output: newinitrd.gz, a smaller gzipped cpio archive version of the input # newinitrd.img, a CRAMFS version of the same # (in the same directory as the original input file) # # The input filename may be in either relative or absolute pathname form. # So, what are we gonna do? # 1. extract the initrd file system image from its compressed form # 2. remove enough extraneous files to allow a rebuilt initrd image # to be smaller than 6MB. # 3. generate a CRAMFS initrd image and a gzipped cpio archive from # the reduced initrd files system # # housekeeping functions function cleanup { echo "cleaning up..." rm -rf $DIR exit } function cleanup_on_interrupt { echo "cleaning up..." rm -rf $DIR rm -rf $NEW_INITRD_GZ rm -rf $NEW_INITRD_IMG exit } # leave no trace upon external interruption trap cleanup_on_interrupt SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM # I suggest running this as root if [ $(whoami) != root ]; then echo "I suggest running this script as root, like, y'know, with sudo" exit fi # best have a file argument if [ $# -lt 1 ] ; then echo "usage: shrink <initrd_file_name>" exit fi # now let's define some useful file names; # the new image files will show up in the same directory as the # original image.
