All seems to work ok until the rebbot to continue the installation of the system. I would appreciate a pointer in the right direction ( I did read the fine manual ) but I am still unclear on the boot parameters upon rebooting.
I have booted from a floppy containing linload.exe and milo and installation from the cd works ok.
After installing the base system, kernel and drivers I find the following mounted:
/dev/ram0 on / type ext2 (rw) /proc on /proc type proc (rw) /dev/sda2 on /target type ext2 (rw) /dev/cdrom on /instmnt type iso9660 (ro)
there are two versions of fstab on on /target/etc /dev/sda2 / ext2 errors=remount-ro /dev/sda3 none swap sw proc /proc proc defaults /dev/fd0 /floppy auto /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660
and /etc/fstab that only shows the /dev/fd0
Then mkdir /mnt/fat mkdosfs /dev/sda1 mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/fat cd /instmnt/milo cp miata linload.exe /mnt/fat mount then also shows /dev/sda1 on /mnt/fat
fdisk /dev/sda indicated sda2 as bootable
I edited the boot parameters as boot sda2:/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.20-generic root=/dev/sda2 but that doesn't work - it just restarts the installation from the cd.
Thank you in advance, John Larsen
