So I write 3 floppies with resue.bin root.bin and drivers-1.bin from the debian 2.2r5 "compact flavor" of kernel. The kernel is 2.2.19. The boot works, the dboostrap start, but when I want to read the drivers from the third floppy the message is that this floppy doesn't contain a filesistem. Perhaps I done something wrong ... I cannot use the third floppy in any way ! And to eliminate the problem of a bad floppy I tried to mount the image: mount -o loop ./driver-1.bin /mnt ... but ... kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 8308 kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 07:00 I hope this is not a RTFM problem :) -- Best regards, Minta Adrian phone: +401.683.66.52 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.geocities.com/adrianminta -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
