A separate boot partition is not needed, and the first partition doesn't have to be root. Make sure the /dev/BOOT line in your fstab is commented out. |

11 |
Sorry for the cruft, but I'm having an issue and I'm not exactly sure |
12 |
how to solve it. |
13 |
|
14 |
I have an old Ultra5. It came without a hard drive so I dug up an old |
15 |
100g drive and installed that in it. (Jumpered as Cable Select) Added |
16 |
in my quad ethernet card as this will be a firewall once I get it |
17 |
working. |
18 |
|
19 |
When I partitioned it, I created the Sun Disk Label and made the following. |
20 |
|
21 |
/dev/hda1 / (512mb) ext2 |
22 |
/dev/hda2 swap (512mb) swap |
23 |
/dev/hda3 whole disk |
24 |
/dev/hda4 /usr (15g) ext3 |
25 |
/dev/hda5 /var (15g) ext3 |
26 |
/dev/hda6 /home (rest) ext3 |
27 |
|
28 |
I followed the 2006.0 doc and when it comes to the edit the fstab |
29 |
portion, this is where I get confused. In there it wants a line for |
30 |
/dev/BOOT but I don't have a /boot partition. Should I have created a |
31 |
/boot partition? I was under the impression that the first partition |
32 |
needed to be / . |
33 |
|
34 |
I get through the doc and make my fstab without putting in a /boot |
35 |
line (removed it) and reboot the machine and it comes up saying "The |
36 |
file just loaded does not appear to be executable." |
37 |
|
38 |
However the kernel file in /boot is executable. And is under the |
39 |
3.5m for a 2.4 on 64bit system. |
40 |
|
41 |
|
42 |
Can someone please point me in the right direction as to what I'm |
43 |
doing wrong? |
44 |
|
45 |
Many thanks. |
