Starting to get peeved !!
Hi, I'm still struggling to install Debian to my Sparc2 from floppies.
I have 2x 1.3Gb and 1x 440Mb disks
I partition them all as Sun Disk Label and then delete partition 1 & 2 to
create the ones I want. The end result (with approx sizes)
/sda1 linux native u 50Mb /boot
/sda2 linux native u 800Mb /
/sda3 whole disk 1300Mb
/sda4 linux swap 450Mb <swap>
/sdb1 linux native u 800Mb /usr
/sdb2 linux native u 500Mb /var
/sdb3 whole disk 1300Mb
/sdc1 linux native u 340Mb /home
/sdc2 linux native u 100Mb /storage
/sdc3 whole disk 440Mb
where u = mountable flag.
I get through the install but can't make the system bootable from the hard
disk.
WTF am I doing wrong ???
When you create a Sun Disk Label you get a read only flag on one of the
first 2 partitions. eg
/sda1 linux native
/sda2 linux swap r
/sda3 whole disk
I removed this flag + made mine bootable. Was this wrong and why ?
