Hi.
Having successfully got LinuxBios to boot from a DoC device, I'm now trying to move on to having a root file system in the DoC as well, so I can do away with the hard disk altogether...
I'm trying to follow the instructions in the LinuxBios FAQ for "How do I put a filesystem on DoC?" and I can't seem to get the DoC partitioned...
if I do: ./nftl_format /dev/mtd0 2097152 6291456 as the example shows, then the format appears to go okay, but when I modprobe nftl I get in dmesg: NFTL Media Headers at 0x0 and 0x100000 disagree. Could not find valid boot record. Could not mount NFTL device and fdisk won't recognise /dev/nftla
Alternatively, though, if I run nftl_format without any offset or size parameters: ./nftl_format /dev/mtd0 again it appears to go okay, and when I modprobe nftl I get a successful /dev/nftla which fdisk *can* format.
However, if I do that, how do I get my LinuxBios boot kernel into the DoC as well as the root file system ?
I'm using an 8Mbyte DoC MD-2800-D08 and Linux kernel 2.4.19
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong ?
Antony.
