Subject: help installing linux on hd Date: Mon, 11 Nov 1991 00:23:34 EST From: corsini@geocub.greco-prog.fr (Marc CORSINI)
Hi,
In fact the subject says it all
I've been able to get the minix demo disk from plains
also the different Image for linux
I was able to rawrite them on floppy quite easily. In fact the problems arised
when i wanted to put linux on my hd:
I used a 386Sx with 2Mo Ram, and 2 HD
the first one is a 120Meg, and the second one a 40Meg
The big one is a single partionned disk under DRDOS 5.0
The other is a 3 partitionned one
Using Minix I've tried mkfs /dev/hdX with Xgreater than 5
the only reponse i got was/is
no space on root device 1/0
Error: file system is too big for minor device
Line 1 being processed when error detected
Oh, the number after /dev/hdX was computed as in the manual of the demo
disk of minix 1.5
On the other hand I've tried under linux the
cat /dev/hdx for x in 0...9
some accesses were refused (since the partition does not exist)
cat worked on hd0, hd4, hd5, hd8, hd9
Question : Am I supposed to patiotion my first disk in 4?
