1. Install Debian Etch, if you want Lenny see http://deb.openssi.org/alpha/openssi-lenny/Howto.html
   
   
2. Add
   

   deb http://deb.openssi.org/alpha/openssi-etch ./
       

   To your sources.list
   
   
3. Add
   

   Package: *
   Pin: origin deb.openssi.org
   Pin-Priority: 1001
       

   to your /etc/apt/preferences
   
   
4. Create a file /etc/apt/apt-conf.d/90allow-unauthenticated containing:
   

   APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated "true";
       

5. apt-get update
   
   
6. apt-get install initrd-tools
   
   

apt-get install openbsd-inetd
    

xinetd causes lots of problems by launching atftpd with ipv6 addresses.


7. Add the module for your cluster-interconnect nic to /etc/mkinitrd/modules
   
   
8. As we're going to remove the running kernel we must modprobe all modules needed to build the initrd or we won't be able to make a bootable system (don't forget this or you'll be stuck with an unbootable system):
   

   modprobe loop
   modprobe ext2
       

   
   
9. apt-get dist-upgrade
   
   At this point you will be warned that the running kernel will be removed.  This is because of a necessary downgrade of udev.  Allow it to happen.
   
   :-(  Warning - your system is unbootable starting from this point.
   
   
10. apt-get install openssi
    
    configure the node number, cluster interconnect,2 clustername, root failover as usual.
    
    
11. :-)       Your system should now be rebootable.  Reboot it.
    
    
12. The current version of dhcpd has an irritating "bug" - it no longer has a default for the "next-server" option (i.e. the address of the tftp server).  You'll have to add the option:
    

    next-server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
        

    (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the cluster interconnect address for the initnode) to the file /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.proto
    
    
13. run:
    

    mkdhcpd.conf

14. run:
    

    invoke-rc.d dhcp3-server restart
        

15. Now you can try booting a secondary node with etherboot or PXE, then ssi-addnode as usual
