Dear Netters,
Now I come accross another problem while installing the SLS package.
Here is my partition table:
==========================================================================
Disk /dev/hda: 8heads, 39 sectors, 761 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 312 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1 493 76888+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32MB
/dev/hda2 494 494 729 36816 81 Linux/MINUX
/dev/hda3 730 730 761 4992 82 Linux swap
==========================================================================
Boot by a1, I have done the following commands with no error messages:
# mkswap /dev/hda3 4992
# swapon /dev/hda3
# mke2fs /dev/hda2 36816
But now when I started to run "doinstall /dev/hda2" , the following
messages appeared when installing the a3 disk:
MINIX-fsmagic mathc failed
[MS-DOS FS Rel.alpha.8, FAT 16, check=n, conv=b, uid=0, gid=0, umask=000]
[me=0x50,cs=2,#f=246,fs=23412,fl=12574,ds=36424,de=32962,data=38484,se=22133,
ts=1963212550]
Unsupported FS Parameters
EXT-fs: magic match failed
Insert disk a3 into the floppy drive then hit enter, q to quit
Then after I pressed "enter", the same message appeared. I tried 3 times
and was quite sure that the installation failed when the below appeared:
mv:can not move `/root/fstab.tmp' to `/root/etc/fstab':No such file or directory
I also tried another way: to install with the LILO a1.test disk. I did
the same procedure as above, and went quite fine before the " doinstall
/dev/hda2 " command. This time the following message appeared when installing
a2 disk:
mount: mount point /root doesn't exist.
Error: Can not mount /dev/hda2. Did you use: mkfs /dev/hda2 SIZE
where SIZE is the number of blocks shown by fdisk?
But I did have done "mke2fs /dev/hda2 36816" already... Can anyone
help me with this problem? Thanks very much...
Sincerely
