Sorry for the cruft, but I'm having an issue and I'm not exactly sure |
| 2 |
how to solve it. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
I have an old Ultra5. It came without a hard drive so I dug up an old |
| 5 |
100g drive and installed that in it. (Jumpered as Cable Select) Added |
| 6 |
in my quad ethernet card as this will be a firewall once I get it |
| 7 |
working. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
When I partitioned it, I created the Sun Disk Label and made the following. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
/dev/hda1 / (512mb) ext2 |
| 12 |
/dev/hda2 swap (512mb) swap |
| 13 |
/dev/hda3 whole disk |
| 14 |
/dev/hda4 /usr (15g) ext3 |
| 15 |
/dev/hda5 /var (15g) ext3 |
| 16 |
/dev/hda6 /home (rest) ext3 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
I followed the 2006.0 doc and when it comes to the edit the fstab |
| 19 |
portion, this is where I get confused. In there it wants a line for |
| 20 |
/dev/BOOT but I don't have a /boot partition. Should I have created a |
| 21 |
/boot partition? I was under the impression that the first partition |
| 22 |
needed to be / . |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I get through the doc and make my fstab without putting in a /boot |
| 25 |
line (removed it) and reboot the machine and it comes up saying "The |
| 26 |
file just loaded does not appear to be executable." |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
However the kernel file in /boot is executable. And is under the |
| 29 |
3.5m for a 2.4 on 64bit system. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what I'm |
| 33 |
doing wrong? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Many thanks. |
