So, let me get this straight: To make a bootable CD, you need to:
1. compile a kernel (generic will work)
2. gzip the kernel to kernel.gz
3. vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 boot.flp (from /cdrom/floppies/boot.flp)
4. mount /dev/vn0a /mnt
5. cp kernel.gz /mnt/kernel.gz
6. cp /boot/boot0 /mnt/boot/boot0;cp /boot/loader.4th
/mnt/boot/loader.4th
7. umount /dev/vn0a;vnconfig -u vn0
8. mkdir /usr/cd;cp boot.flp /usr/cd
9. cp -R /bin /usr/cd;cp -R /etc /usr/cd;cp -R /sbin /usr/cd
10. pico -w /usr/cd/etc/fstab to mount acd0 as root.
11. mkisofs -o burnthis.iso -b boot.flp cd
12. Burn the ISO to a CD.
13. boot the CD.
Okay, got that far. But, it will load the kernel, then hang and say that
it cannot mount root device /dev/fd0. This doesn't make any sense to me
becuase I specifically told fstab on the cd to use the cdrom as root. Am
I stupid or something?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Rick Duvall
