/dev may lack the correct device file. devtmpfs may help to figure this out? I don't have access to any 68k macs right now, so I can't be of much help there sorry. You can find some discussion in the linux-m68k list archives from the past few months. > Do I place the devtmpfs in fstab or somewhere in an init.d script? fstab is fine. But once udev starts, you don't need devtmpfs, so I'm not sure what the story is. > created new partition with "HD SC Setup (patched)", have had this Mac > program since ~2000. As you probably realise, the unpatched utility only handles Apple OEM disks. There's a download link in the FAQ: http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/docs/faq.php#sec-11 > /dev/* to /mnt/dev/ (Finn is this required?) I've not really looked into the Debian 6 way of doing things. When I built a system from Thorsten's packages using debootstrap, ISTR that I used devtmpfs and didn't pursue it any further. > occasional 1-5 sec freezes. > > Would really like to produce 2 disks; 1. a MacOS system disk with a > drive partitioner and, 2. an emile disk with enough tools to format, > start networking and copy an image.

There exists a MacOS port of pdisk (Apple's command line partitioner). SUntar runs under MacOS and can image (read/write) a raw partition. What seems to be missing is Emile config tools for MacOS (ala XPostFacto), since MacOS is the natural rescue option (it is free, easy, compatible and dependable). > -- BTW, if you put a space after that, i.e. "-- ", it and the rest of the .sig will get omitted automatically from replies quoting your message.
