thanks Dave... will look into the overlay file system + kernel hack soun.. got the 9front booting off one 9660 drive now (50GB) and am mounting my second 20GB drive into /tmp/D (its a 9fat partition) and i have rebooted and the created D files are still there
one strange thing that bogged me down for most of today (and stopped me emailing you earlier), was that I edited the .iso, lets call it cwCON.iso and catted that to /dev/sdC0/data and no matter what I did it would not boot, the fs was there, but no booting... what I am after doing is reverting to the current 9front iso just 20 mins ago and it worked perfectly, so somehow they created 3 partitions in /dev/sdC0/data (a 486MB, a 1MB ESP (1 cylinder) and another large file system) (using cat???) so... my next post is going to wonder how they did that and how i can add some handy scripts to my own version of their iso... (is /386/pbslba somethingp...) ps: is a 20GB file system safe? r why should i use fossil?? Kind Regards... & happy summer Dave... /c@midnight+43mi ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T49170188f63f430d-M68edd167cc7be7f1057e6f27 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
