Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.11
Hello, fellow boot floppies worker.
The bug is the following :
when dbootstrap asks for partitions to mount for any purpose, it don't checks
if someone is using the disk without partitioning, in super floppy style.
(that is threat the whole disk as one partition, without partition table. This
makes sense with removable medias, since windows for example threats non
iomega removables as super floppies. Also for some reason someone could use
some oldish harddisk as one big floppy also.
Above is given my actual partition table, where sda is my syjet cartridge,
with an e2fs on it.
Best guess as how to implement this would be to have the code which looks for
partitions today threat any disk entry without partitions as a potenttial
super floppy formatted disk ( i guess an unpartitioned unformated disk shoudl
look the same also).
Friendly,
Sven LUTHER

Here is my i386 partition table with the syjet on :
lambda:/cvsroot/cvsroot/glint# more /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
8 0 1464900 sda
3 0 8420832 hda
3 1 524632 hda1
3 2 262584 hda2
3 3 1048824 hda3
3 4 1 hda4
3 5 2097616 hda5
3 6 262552 hda6
3 7 262552 hda7
3 8 524632 hda8
3 9 262552 hda9
3 10 3174664 hda10
Same goes for my apus box, save the syjet is sdb.
best would be to check for a sd# or hd# without corresponding partitions
(sd#[1-n] or hd#[1-n]).

Will do, ...

--
.....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
boot-floppies (2.2.15) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
* version 2.2.14 skipped because ARM porters (naughty! naughty!) did
an unauthorized and untagged upload
* new base, build with new modutils (closes: Bug#63855)
* Adam Di Carlo
- documentation: add index.html symlink and other magic in the install
target; fix and improve the doc-web rule
- release notes: add a section regarding major user-visible changes in
the installation system
- dbootstrap: change the behavior of the bad blocks check: we ask by
default, but the default is not to run the check (closes: Bug#64178);
suppress the /var/run/cardmgr.pid message; fix nasty modconf problem
created when you configure PCMCIA before drivers (closes:
Bug#63900); at reboot, copy /var/log/messages to the newly installed
/var/log/installer.log; write HTTP_PROXY from net-fetch to
dbootstrap_settings, as used by new base-config; some more
informative syslogging; quiet is quieter; disallow user to mount on
/etc (closes: Bug#25225)
- base: remove old setup.sh we were installing which updated the
locate database, which is irrelevant (closes: Bug#63006, Bug#64227);
remove cruft, viz., scripts/basedisks/{new_root_home,po,newtasks},
if there is any interest in this material it is purely historical,
and would be better served by folks checking out boot-floppies CVS
as of 5 May 2000; close an unreproducible bug (closes: Bug#63256)
- Makefile: distclean is a bit cleaner (removes CVS crufty files);
fix a nasty typo where the udma66 flavor wasn't using the right
kernels
- documentation/kernel-config*: remove, we use the config from the
kernel-image packages directly

source for kernel/drivers/base

documented

closes 64179, closes: Bug#64122)
* Daniel Jacobowitz
