Re: [expert] making bootdisk on LS120 drive?

[Alan Shoemaker]

Hoyt....thanks, but it doesn't work.  After providing a path to vmlinuz
and ammending the name to what is in the path I specified and
substituting /dev/hda for /dev/<LS-120> it errored saying:

 dd: /dev/hda: Input/output error 

so I added a / 

 dd: /dev/hda/: Not a directory

so I added vmlinuz-2.2.13-7mdk and got:

 dd: /dev/hda/vmlinuz-2.2.13-7mdk: Not a directory

Thanks again,
Alan
