I am a programmer so go ahead and give me task that is easiest for you
to say with out translating it to people who does not program.
I do not do kernel programming so I am not exactly sure what it is
saying I am guessing that it is trying to boot the main file system as
a virtual file system but I can't be to sure and maybe if I could find
some thing to format the partition as ext2 that I am wanting to boot
from.
I am using a kernel from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11666&package_id=13076
vmlinux-2.2.25-20030905.gz and I downloaded the install (initrd)
from http://people.debian.org/~smarenka/d-i/images-m68k/daily/hd-
media/ and left it compressed as said in the manual http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/m68k/ch05s01.html.en#m68k-boothd-mac
All of the links on those manuals are dead for some reason that is why
I searched and found that other location.
I am going to try and follow this to see what I can come up with and
see what happens.
Thanks,
Mr. Gecko
