Unable to install from hard disk or mounted partition
I tried the new-powermac flavor from Jan 7 posted in ~walters. I was
unable to install from the hard disk.
I first tried the images-1.44/root.bin posted with new-powermac. Then
I tried a root.bin I had built from cvs on 1/14. Both gave the same
symptoms. I don't believe there have been any changes to this code in
the meantime. So the hard disk dialog is still not working, at least
for new-powermac. It really doesn't seem like the loop mount error
would be architecture-related.
I also tried the mounted partition selection, but that causes
dbootstrap to crash and restart in a smaller window.
Here is the pertinent part of the vc3 messages:
