login to a ramdisk machine
Hi all,
I've made a boot and root floppies for a ramdisk machine, (ie - not as
a rescue disk but to install working linux on ram).
My problem is that i can't login to the machine, since no user
(including root) is defined. maybe you can help out how to add a user
and a passwd to the root file system.
escpecially, why -
1. changing the /etc/passwd file doesn't enable root login
2. changing the /etc/login.defs doesn't enable login
3. using /usr/sbin/useradd doens't really add a username (only uid).
4. /usr/sbin/adduser doesn't work on my /root file system?
TIA,
Danny.
