I tell lies, /oldroot is OK, /oldroot/cdrom is empty. Looks like I can get the files to copy if I use dmesg to find where the cdrom is connected (/dev/hdc in my case) and then manually mount /oldroot/cdrom eg. mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /oldroot/cdrom
Files copied to /dev/hda1 ok , but still no boot eg."This is not a bootable disk. blah blah." , astinstall still errors with /usr/sbin/astinstall: line 118: syslinux: command not found pbx ~ # mount rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) /dev/root on /oldroot type ext2 (rw) none on / type tmpfs (rw,size=131072k) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,size=200k) none on /var type tmpfs (rw,size=5000k) none on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,size=10000k) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=600) usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) /dev/hdc on /oldroot/cdrom type iso9660 (ro) - this is my manual mount /dev/hda1 on /tmp/runnix type vfat (rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1) - this is a astinstall mount before astinstall umounts pbx ~ # cd /tmp/runnix/ pbx runnix # ls boot.msg os runnix runnix.img syslinux.cfg On 11/08/2010, at 8:08 PM, Guy Neale wrote: > I've created a VM and booted from an ISO image. /oldroot is mounted to > /dev/root but I found no /dev/root or /dev/cdrom device.
