Hello all-
I am having a rather baffling problem with installing WISP/Bearing on
to a 1.0G IDE harddrive. The funny thing is, I can get the drive to work
if I partition it and format it in Windows, but I can't get it to work
if I do the same in linux.
Here's what I am doing in linux:
1)fdisk /dev/hda
2)add 50MB FAT16 (type 6) partition as /dev/hda1
3)toggle bootable flag to true on /dev/hda1
4)use mkdosfs to create a FAT16 file system on the /dev/hda1
5)syslinux /dev/hda1 (using v1.52, also tried the -s option to no avail)
6)mount partition to /wisp (mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /wisp)
7)unzip wisp-dist_2290_pkg_wdist.zip to /wisp
8)edit /wisp/syslinux.cfg
9)install disk in router box and boot it, but it never finds the MBR
that syslinux should have installed (right?)... It just sits there
saying "Invalid media or replace system disk" (or whatever that error
says).
The destination box is a Dell XPS P200s with 32MB, and I've installed
full distros on this box (and drive) before without any issues. I know
that I must be missing something totally obvious, but I can't figure it
out. At this point it's purely academic, as I can get it to work when
installed under windows, but being that I don't run windows any more
(had to take over a coworkers box to do it) it's a matter of pride that
I can get it to work under Linux ;)
Thanks,
Zack
