How to Install ZeroShell to Hard Disk

How to Install ZeroShell to Hard Disk.

In www.zeroshell.net navigate to download section. you will see "2GB image for IDE, SATA, SCSI e USB disks" and "Iso image for CD" release on July 25, 2012, download both of them.

Option I
  • Rename "ZeroShell-2.0.RC1-IDE-USB-SATA-Disk-2GB.img.gz" to some type friendly letters zeroshell.img.gz and copy it to a Pen Drive.
  • Burn "ZeroShell-2.0.RC1.iso" to CD.
  • Plug the Pen Drive and boot Live CD:
  • Once booted hit "S" to bring up Shell Prompt:
  •  Get the list of drives: 
fdisk -l
/dev/sda is the Hard Disk
/dev/sdb1 is the Pen Drive
  • Delete if there is any partitions on the drive that you are going to install.
fdisk /dev/sda
m (for help).
d (for delete partitions).
  • Once you are done, mount the Pen Drive.
mkdir /mnt/pendrive
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/pendrive
  •  Next step is extract "zeroshell.img.gz" from pen drive to hard disk.
cd /mnt/pendrive
gunzip -c zeroshell.img.gz > /dev/sda
  • Once rebooted ZeroShell will boot from Hard Disk.
