No, "(rw)" is the only option that "mount" shows. Instead of debootstrap (what I used last time) to build the system on the external drive, I just booted my AMD64 box into the debian installer, and installed a fresh i386 etch onto the external drive. The problem is that the K7 kernel was installed as part of that, but my goal with all of this is to build a drive that I can install into an Intel Pentium III. Anyway, I still can't chroot into that system after booting into my normal AMD64 etch. I still get the error shown above. Maybe I'll try booting my AMD64 host into that K7 i386 system and see if I can pick a different kernel using dselect or something. This sure seems more convoluted that I thought it would be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
