Help: different kernel images for slaves - Solved

[Robin Laing]

The administrator found the solution in the source tree Release Notes 
for beoboot-cm.1.4.

In the /etc/beowulf/config


   [...]
    Support for multiple boot images has been added via the 
configuration file.  For example:

    bootfile   /var/beowulf/boot.img  # this is the default boot image
    bootfile 5 /var/beowulf/boot2.img # Node 5 takes a different boot 
file.

    You can also supply comma separated node ranges like 5-10,100-120
   [...]

Now if only this would get put into the normal documentation.  Isn't 
it strange how documentation in any field seems to be the last thing 
that gets completed.

Of course this is a start in the process of getting the kernel to 
work.  The process does find the correct kernel on boot and thus we 
are still working with only one procedure for the whole cluster.

Now to get all the other little things to work.  :)

I hope that this info will be of use for others.
