'mount /boot' fails: |
88 |
box0 ~ # mount /boot |
89 |
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1, |
90 |
missing codepage or helper program, or other error |
91 |
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try |
92 |
dmesg | tail or so |
93 |
|
94 |
No, I do not use 'initfamfs'. |
95 |
|
96 |
What do you suggest doing? |

Thanks. |
