Hi Steve, |
2 |
Ok I moved the kernel and /etc/arcboot.conf to my /boot (and as noted in |
3 |
the man page, made a link from boot to boot) and changed my arcboot.conf |
4 |
to reflect the changes. |
5 |
|
6 |
Now in the prom I resetenv so that: |
7 |
SystemPartition = pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(8) |
8 |
|
9 |
then ran arcboot - then it says it can't find the arcboot.conf or an |
10 |
ext2fs. Then it says to adjust OSLoadPartition to |
11 |
pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2) Which I tried with no success |
12 |
I also tried pci(0)scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1) with no success. |
13 |
My boot partition is on sda1, root is sda3, and swap is sda2. |
14 |
|
15 |
any ideas what I'm doing dumb? |
