Trying to install gentoo from within my SuSE 8.0, I ran into the following problem:
After I created the boot disk (tomsrtbt) and the utility disk containing parted, I login as root, mount /dev/fd0 to /floppy, which first had to be created, cd to /floppy, check with ls that parted is there, then run ./parted /dev/hdb, and the system answers: ./parted: not found
I'm not sure if you'll find this helpful - this might be a dumb question, but what IDE channel is the drive you're trying to install upon..? Is it master or slave..? Is it really /dev/hdb..? What's on /dev/hda..?
I found when i was trying to do something similar (install Gentoo on a Vaio C1 which already had RedHat (8.1, I *think*) on) that I was able to boot to the RedHat on /dev/hda/, go to single user mode & run parted from there.
HTH,
Stroller.
