Dear list, |
| 2 |
Would like to enlist some assistance with an install on an IBM 9112-265 |
| 3 |
Intellistation. |
| 4 |
Have followed the liveCD install without many problems. |
| 5 |
Have gotten to the yaboot configuration and attempted to configure and |
| 6 |
have dd'd the kernel file rev 32r7 to the sda1 1meg partition. |
| 7 |
Upon reboot the system fails to find the kernel file and boot. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
When I have rebooted on the liveCD again and recieved the prompt to work |
| 10 |
with i have attempted to try and mount the sda3 root partition from the |
| 11 |
original install. I presume because there is only the LiveCD /etc/fstab |
| 12 |
with tempfs entries in it i cannot mount my real root partition and the |
| 13 |
system knows nothing of the original parttitioned disk from the install. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Could someone direct me on what action to take to mount the original |
| 16 |
partitions such that i can edit the yaboot config file and achieve a |
| 17 |
successful boot from scsi disk. |
| 18 |
or |
| 19 |
can someone please instruct on how to set up yaboot config correctly such |
| 20 |
that i can reinstall the lot and get the bootloader correct. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Thanks in advance. |
