1 Thanks for the cool distro.
2 I am only able to get so far in the setup though...
3
4 1) I set the root password
5 2) PCI setup
6 3) netsetup
7 4) create the partitions /dev/hda1 (made it bootable). /dev/hda2 (swap)
8 and /dev/hda3
9 5) mkswap/swapon etc....
10 6) mkef2s for hda1 and hda3
11 7) mounted these to directories I made /mnt/gentoo and /mnt/gentoo/boot
12
13 Here's the problem:
14
15 I get the stage3 tarball and it uploads fine, but lynx then says:
16
17 "can't write to file"
18
19 so I checked what's mounted with 'mount' and I see:
20
21 /dev/hda1 mounted on /mnt/gentoo/boot/ (rw)
22 /dev/hda3 mounted on /mnt/gentoo (rw)
23
24 hdparm says the drives are ok... I think. the only things it says is
25 'dma 1 on'
26
27 Have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
