I know two ways to mount a loop-device. The follwing two examples will create a loop device (dev/loop0) that is aligned with the file initrd.img and will mount this device to the mountpoint /mnt Maybe you must specify the filesystem in the mount command (e.g. "-t ext2"). 1. losetup /dev/loop0 initrd.img mount /dev/loop0 /mnt 2. mount initrd.img /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop0 cu lukas -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAJxYh0OiZ19O5984RArFOAJwNMsURyQ6cVfNIQVR3LQ1VQdkDXQCfQpKD dFO6b3BLkq23eePJYELJrY4= =IRw1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
