From: dhaliwa@ecf.toronto.edu (DHALIWAL BIKRAM SINGH) Subject: Mounting the Hard-drive Date: Sun, 1 Nov 1992 00:26:05 GMT
I have Linux on a bootimage disk and a rootimage disk. I have
a 40 Mb hard-drive, and a AMD386-40 motherboard. I have Stacker compressing
partition c: and I have partitioned d: in Linux using the install
script. During and after re-boot fdisk says exactly that, my primary
partition is DOS and is bootable, my secondary (10Mb) partition is
of type 81 (Linux/Minix). I have used mkfs -c /dev/hda3 9027 to
make the file system, however when I df it only displays the floppy.
when I try to mount and copy files to the hard-drive using the install
script it says that I have insufficient space, I think this is because
is not going to the drive specified as mount but rather it is going
back to the floppy where of course there would not be enough space.
I have edited my boot image telling it that /dev/hda3 is my root
partition, however this still does not work, It still goes to floppy
and says insufficient space.
Please E-mail me and/or post the solution to my hard-drive installation
problems.
