Failed using CD-ROM as root filesystem
I've tried to use (bootable) CD-ROM as root filesystem (I want have this because it's good alternative of fixit.flp), but it seems that GENERIC kernel doesn't understand where is root filesystem. What I did are: - make a 2.88MB boot floppy image, which contains: * GENERIC kernel (gzipped) * loader(8) * configulation files for loader: device hints & 'set boot_cdrom' - make an ISO image with, which contains: * floppy image (mentioned above) for boot * extracted distributions - Burn an ISO image to a CD - Boot... * loader(8) works well; initializing is OK, and kicks kernel.gz * kernel works well until all devices are attached * kernel stops when mounting root filesystem, dmesg says: acd0: CDROM <> at ata0-slave PIO4 Mounting root from cd9660:cd0a setrootbyname failed iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from cd9660:acd0a setrootbyname failed iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Mounting root from cd9660:wcd0a setrootbyname failed iso_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ?
