Title: Re: Got this far on a 7100/80

Is something supposed to be located in /dev/ram?   I tried that and it still didn't work   Is that where my kernel is supposed to be located somehow?   does /dev/ram map to something equivalent on MAC like the RAMDISK or something?   (I edited lilo.conf manually, when I tried to use the control panel it told me "Mklinux - a system error occured") ----- Original Message ----- From: Clive Menzies To: Philip Larkin Waters ; debian-powerpc@lists.debian.org Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 3:19 AM Subject: Re: Got this far on a 7100/80 At 5:05 pm -0700 14/1/03, Philip Larkin Waters wrote: So, I used the Mach Kernel and the Apple Bootloader and I actually got some results!   It was kinda cool... in any event I got the following error:   VFS Cannot open root device sdb5 or 08:15 Please appand a correct "root=" boot option   kernel panic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:15     on a 7100/80 what is the correct root= option and how do I set it? Open lilo.conf on the Mac side - you can use Control Panels/MkLinux and select Custom set rootdev=/dev/ram And it should boot you into the installation screen you can then install woody from the net.
