hi,
i'm trying to boot from a 32MB DOC. but am having trouble with mtd-lilo.
here's my setup,
133Mhz Advantech Biscuit PC (486 SBC),
32MB Millennium 2000 DOC,
2.4.6 kernel
here's what i did,
got the mtd-lilo patches from earlier list posting,
(http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2001-April/000049.html)
tar -xvzf lilo_21.7.orig.tar.gz
cd lilo_21.7
cat lilo_21.7-1.diff | patch -p1
cat mtd-lilo-21.7-1.patch | patch -p1
make all
copied mtd-menu.b, mtd-text.b and bootsect.b to /boot
and map.b link to point to mtd-menu.b
./mtd-lilo -v -C /etc/lilo.conf -i /boot/bootsect.b -c /boot/map.b
and my lilo.conf looks like this,
boot=/dev/nftla1
map=/boot/map.b
install=/boot/bootsect.b
vga=0x0f05
default=linux
keytable=/boot/us.klt
prompt
timeout=50
message=/boot/message
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/nftla1
read-only
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
unsafe
but i get the following error,
Reading boot sector from /dev/nftla1
Merging with /boot/bootsect.b
Fatal: First boot sector is version 20.0. Expecting version 21.7.
any ideas??
