Hey all, Trying to see what's on the 2.6 root.img, I've been unsuccessful mounting it as loop or the actual floppy. What filesystem type is it? I figured it was ext2, but mount says it's not. I've tried cramfs, hfs, hfsplus, but it's not working. Regards, Duane
the root floppy is (sometimes) a compressed /ext2 image cp root.img /tmp/root.gz gunzip /tmp/root.gz mount -v -t etx2 -o ro,loop /tmp/root /media/floppy or some such thing as that. and (somteimes) a cramfs filesystem. I don't know under what circumstances which is chosen.
