Linux Reference Image

• For starters, copy the Linux reference images

  • http://www.routerboard.com/files/rb500-128.img.zip
  • http://www.routerboard.com/files/rb500-1024.img.zip
  • Based on Debian, Linux 2.4.30 kernel plus patches

• Copy this image onto the compact flash

  • Unzip the image file
  • fdisk -l rb500-128.img
  • Notice that there are 2 partitions
    • 1st: Type 27 (this is odd...)
    • 2nd: Type 83 (Linux...we can handle this!)
