Re: Got this far on a 7100/80



Title: Re: Got this far on a 7100/80
Is something supposed to be located in /dev/ram?
 
I tried that and it still didn't work
 
Is that where my kernel is supposed to be located somehow?
 
does /dev/ram map to something equivalent on MAC like the RAMDISK or something?
 
(I edited lilo.conf manually, when I tried to use the control panel it told me "Mklinux - a system error occured")

So, I used the Mach Kernel and the Apple Bootloader and I actually got some results!
 
It was kinda cool...
in any event I got the following error:
 
VFS Cannot open root device sdb5 or 08:15
Please appand a correct "root=" boot option
 
kernel panic VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 08:15  
 
on a 7100/80 what is the correct root= option and how do I set it?

Open lilo.conf on the Mac side - you can use Control Panels/MkLinux and select Custom

set rootdev=/dev/ram

And it should boot you into the installation screen you can then install woody from the net.

Good luck
