booting and servers.boot
I don't know what this error is all about(new guy). I got a ISO
Image
from ftp.fsn.hu dated May 9th. I booted from the Cdrom and made
a 700MB ext2 partition. I installed the base system. made a
grub
floppy and used the commands
root (hd0,0)
kernel=/boot/gnumach.gz root=(hd0s0 -s
module=/boot/bootserver.gz
this loads the kernel then after the detection of the nic and
the
com ports I get this error, inaproriate filetype or format and
it asks me for the right one
[/dev/hd0s0/boot/servers.boot]
I took the disk home to install on one of my test PCs and I
did it by extracting the Hurdbase.tgz file into the partiton I
wanted it on so I put it on the same one I tryed at work
/dev/hda or hd0s0 and this time I got.
file not found
[dev/hd0s0/boot/servers.boot]
I mounted it from my debian disk and looked in the boot
directory and I saw the file in there along with a
server.boot.dpkg-new file.
I am really interested in getting Hurd booted. I have been
looking in the mailing list archives for some clues. I saw a
tip that said copy the servers.boot.dpkg-new to the
servers.boot
file, but that didn't do it for me.
If anyone has had a similar problem or knows what I might be
doing wrong please let me know.
Thanks
Matt G.
