Re: NSLU2 reflashing kernel and rootfs - using installer as rescue

[Jeff Boles <bolesjb@yahoo.com>]

Martin, thanks - that did it.  I think I wasn't mounting dev with the bind option, so I'm back and reflashed now.  Now looks like my next task is figuring out why apt is seg faulting on me after scanning for dependencies!

Thanks for your help, that hit it on the nose.

[excuse the double message Martin, wanted to get it in the list archive]

Yeah, you need to mount /dev and /proc.
