SparkOS Minimal Filesystem Image SparkOS UEFI-Bootable Image
This is a minimal ext4 filesystem image containing the SparkOS init system. This is a UEFI-bootable disk image with:
This is NOT a fully bootable image - it requires additional components. - GPT partition table
- EFI System Partition (ESP) with FAT32 filesystem
- GRUB UEFI bootloader
- Linux kernel
- SparkOS init system
- Busybox utilities
What's included: The image can be written to a USB drive and booted on UEFI systems:
- SparkOS init binary (/sbin/init) sudo dd if=sparkos.img of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress
- Basic FHS-compliant directory structure sudo sync
- Basic configuration files
To make this fully bootable, you need to add: Boot options:
1. Linux kernel (install to /boot/vmlinuz) - UEFI boot support (tested on x86_64 systems)
2. Busybox (install to /bin/busybox and create symlinks) - Automatic boot after 3 seconds
3. Bootloader (GRUB or syslinux) - Console on tty1
4. Required libraries (if using dynamically linked binaries)
This image can be mounted to extract the init binary or inspect the structure:
sudo mount -o loop sparkos.img /mnt
cp /mnt/sbin/init ./
sudo umount /mnt
