ABSTRACT:
An automated method of establishing a filesystem utilizing the establishment of a first filesystem that interfaces with devices by loading software, including a first set of drivers, into memory and initializing the first set of drivers with the devices. The first filesystem is then mounted on a root directory that comprises a single storage device. The method allows input/output functionality within the first filesystem and, while input/output functionality is available to the first filesystem, the method accesses the single storage device to obtain software, including a second set of drivers. The method loads the software into the memory and initializes the second set of drivers with the devices to establish a second filesystem. The second filesystem is mounted on a root directory comprising the single storage device and another storage device and the first filesystem is then rendered inactive.
