Hi Ben,
Step 3, use cat /proc/partitions to see all your disk details. VMWare by
default create scsi disk, which would be /dev/sda. Or you should recreate
your disk image using ide.

hi
I try to install voyage linux as a client os on vmware and following
the steps on the cd-rom guide on
http://cvs.voyage.hk/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/voyage-custom/src/live-cd/overlay_fs/README.live-cd?rev=1.5view=markup
I have some problems to install voyage and the guide is not very
detailed and. Therefore I thought I will go through it step be step to
show you where the problems started. Maybe this descriptions can be
used for a bit more extended (dummy proof) installation guide. On the
wiki maybe?
So here it goes:
~ From the guide: ~~~
| 1. Create distribution directory for installation
| # mkdir /tmp/root
| # mount -o loop /live_media/casper/filesystem.squashfs
/tmp/root
| # cd /tmp/root
| 2. Make a mount point for installation disk
| # mkdir /tmp/cf
|
OK done - no problems, but the next step let me wondering if things go
alright
~ From the guide: ~~~
| ...
| 3. Format target disk device
| # /usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/hda
| ...
here the issues start: There is no /dev/hda device, but /dev/hdc. Is
that problem? Well I execute the command on step 3.) it anyway:
$ /usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/hda
Press ENTER to continue to format flash memory on /dev/hda
should I see /dev/hda now? Because the directory is not here:
$ ls /dev/hda
ls: /dev/hda: No such file or directory
Is that a problem?
~ From the guide: ~~~
| ...
| 4. Start voyage.update installation script
| # /usr/local/sbin/voyage.update
|
| Following the instruction to select /tmp/root as distribution directory,
and
| /tmp/cf as mount point. After the installation complete, simple reboot
the
| board and Voyage will be started!
| ...
Here I wish the guide to be a bit more detailed. Here is what I see
running step 4.):
--
$ /usr/local/sbin/voyage.update
1 - Create new Voyage Linux disk
2 - Update existing Voyage configuration
3 - Exit
(default=1 [Create new Voyage Linux disk]):
$ 1
--
Where is the Voyage Linux distribution directory?
(default=/tmp/root):
$ /tmp/root
--
What would you like to do?
1 - Specify Distribution Directory
2 - Select Target Profile
3 - Select Target Disk
4 - Select Target Bootstrap Loader
5 - Configure Target Console
6 - Copy Distribution to Target
7 - Exit
(default=2 [ Select Target Profile]):
$ 2

7 - Notebook *pcmdia)

Partitions information
Major Minor #blocksname
8 08388608 sda
7 0 28228 loop0
7 128228loop1
Which device accesses the target disk [/dev/hde]?
$ /dev/hda
Error: /dev/hda is not a disk device!
$ /dev/hde
Error: /dev/hda is not a disk device!
--
Ok - here is where the voyage ends for me. I think I have two
connected problems here
- not sure if /dev/hda is really really created
- therefore could not choose /dev/hda/ as target disk
Could somebody help me with this?
Thanks a lot.
Ben
