I already have a grub based USB drive and I boot most of my live OSs from
there. I thought I will add MilaX there. I downloaded the milax0.5.usb and
mounted it in Linux using the RO UFS driver. It had the following structure:
# /bin/ls -R
.:
boot boot.catalog lost+found usr.zlib
./boot:
grub milax platform
./boot/grub:
<grub blah>
./boot/grub/bin:
grub
./boot/platform:
i86pc
./boot/platform/i86pc:
kernel
./boot/platform/i86pc/kernel:
unix
I created a boot directory in the root of my 2nd partition (FAT32) of the USB
drive. Put 'milax' in /boot/, 'cp -a' the platform folder in /boot/, copied
usr.zlib to /, and added an entry in my existing menu.lst to boot with
title MilaX 0.5 (32 bit)
find --set-root /gentoo.igz
kernel /boot//platform/i86pc/kernel/unix
module /boot/milax
It finds everything fine and boots but goes straight to maintenance mode. I
login with alex/alex but most commands are not found. Most annoying being lack
of 'more' or 'less'. Without these I can't see what went beyond the screen full
output from other commands like prtconf.
Anybody has any idea why it doesn't boot properly?
What is the usr.zlib for? And what exactly is it?
PS: I would really appreciate it if someone could get rid of the beep on pc
speaker for me or at least tell me a command which can do that. Its loud and
annoying!
