There is one problem: You cannot use drive nodes as mount stuff. You need to mount partitions, not drives and that means: /dev/sda is node of drive. /dev/sda1 is node of the first partition of the drive. /dev/sda1 can be mounted, /dev/sda can't. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
