Hi Collins,
- snip -
Problme now solved. I can mount another floppy created on another Linux box with '/mnt/floppy' There is nothing wrong on the floppy nor its drive, only impossible to read bootdisk.I already have following line on /etc/fstabThe only time I get this result is if I have an unformatted or damaged floppy. Can you really mount this floppy successfully on another system?
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
# mount /mnt/floppy # mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy all can't work. However this line works on other distro
Then I made following change /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
# mount /mnt/floppy mount: your must specify the filesystem type
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0 or too many mounted file systems
I can't understand???
I tried following command without success
# mount /mnt/floppy # mount -t ext3 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy # mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Can you advise how to read a bootdisk. Thanks
The boot disk won't have a filesystem on it so you will not be able to mount it. It will be a boot image that you are only able to boot from.
To load your installation you will need to know where you installed the kernel and initrd file (if you used one). The online manual for grub can be found at http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_mono/grub.html. But the gentoo installation guide has a quick introduction to booting you machine with grub.
