I get: Using /boot/lib/modules/nftl.o NFTL driver: nftlcore.c $Revision: 1.82 $, nftlmount.c \ $Revision: 1.25 $ Partition check: nftla: nftla1 Mounting a 6M TMPFS filesystem... when I boot from the DoC. > - DOC is recognized "cat /proc/mtd" > > dev: size erasesize name > mtd0: 05000000 00004000 "DiskOnChip 2000" Looks okay. > - I cannot: mount, fdisk, mkfs > > mkdir /flash > mount -t msdos /dev/nftla1 /flash > Device not configured That might happen if /dev/nftla is not properly partitioned (fdisk) or /dev/nftla1 does not have an MS-DOS filesystem on it (mkfs.msdos). What happens if you try fdisk /dev/nftla instead? Can you see the MS-DOS partition from fdisk? Is it set to active? Assuming the answers are all "yes", can you create an MS-DOS filesystem on the partition using: mkfs.msdos /dev/nftla1 ? If the mkfs goes well, you should definitely be able to mount /dev/nftla1 . > The DOC has been "reformatted" with M-Sys version 4.2 because 5.x was > not compatible. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with the M-Sys utilities. I never found a need to use any of there software with my DoC. (I'm not even sure if mine was formatted with 4.2 or 5.x.) That said, if you can boot MS-DOS from the DoC the UG directions *should* work. > I also put an MSDOS FAT-16 on it prior to this venture > but tried fdisk anyway. Did you use Bill's fdisk or linux fdisk? What were the results? Better yet, what is the output of the linux "fdisk -l /dev/nftla" command? > PROBLEM: Why is nftla, nftla1 not "configured". What am I missing > and/or where should I look. My guess is a partition or filesystem problem with the DoC. Let me know about the fdisk and mkfs.msdos results. If the problem seems to be elsewhere, I will lookup the error message you quoted in the source. --Brad ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
