  • First W95 FAT32 (LBA) Partition in bullseye Installation of cubox-i

    From Rainer Dorsch@21:1/5 to All on Tue Dec 28 09:20:02 2021
    Hi,

    just for curiosity, on a new bullseye installation of a cubox-i, there is a
    W95 FAT32 (LBA) partition created as first partition. It contains a boot setup:

    root@bc-text:~# mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/
    root@bc-text:~# ls -l /mnt/
    total 27026
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1575 Dec 13 16:23 boot.scr
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 75264 Dec 13 16:23 dtbs
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 22636034 Dec 13 16:23 initrd.gz
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4960768 Dec 13 16:23 vmlinuz
    root@bc-text:~#

    I am just wondering, why that is there. Is it an installation process leftover or a kind or a rescue kernel? If rescue kernel is there a bootcmd available?

    Here is the printenv of u-boot for reference:

    Thanks

    This looks like a partition of the debian-installer image you presumably
    used to install the system.

    You could use it to start debian-installer if you manually load the
    boot.scr from there.


    live well,
