Re: PowerPC Clone fails booting 2.6 d-i floppy

Let's check my understanding.

The root.img should be image of an ext2 filesystem containing initrd.gz, 
or initrd.cramfs.gz, am I close?

Well, here is my actual observation:

hp:~# dd if=/d-i/floppies-2.6/root-1021.img of=/dev/fd0
2568+1 records in
2568+1 records out
1314818 bytes transferred in 78.787750 seconds (16688 bytes/sec)
hp:~# mount -v /dev/fd0 /floppy/
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/fd0
       I will try type ext2
/dev/fd0 on /floppy type ext2 (rw)
hp:~# ls /floppy
lost+found

Looks to me like an ext2 filesystem with NOTHING in it.
