What I discovered (was moving a boot floppy to HD)



Hello,

I discovered some things, that I'd like to pass on, in case
anyone else ever tries to move a boot floppy (system) to a hard drive
partition.  (Such as the systems included with zdisk and DLX)

The /etc/mtab file must be empty.  This is what was confusing my
system as described in my earlier posts.

I changed the lilo.conf entry from "read-only" to "read-write".  I
still need to investigate the details of running fsck, at boot, and
then remounting read/write, but for now I can live with the
warnings regarding an unchecked root filesystem.

Hope this info is valuable at some point for some folks,

John Miskinis
