Problme now solved. I can mount another floppy created on another Linux box with '/mnt/floppy' There is nothing wrong on the floppy nor its drive, only impossible to read bootdisk.
I tried following command without success
# mount /mnt/floppy # mount -t ext3 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy # mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Can you advise how to read a bootdisk. Thanks
The boot disk won't have a filesystem on it so you will not be able to mount it. It will be a boot image that you are only able to boot from.
Noted with thanks
To load your installation you will need to know where you installed the kernel and initrd file (if you used one). The online manual for grub can be found at http://www.gnu.org/manual/grub/html_mono/grub.html. But the gentoo installation guide has a quick introduction to booting you machine with grub.
I made following test without result
1) grub> root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
2) I tried following combination without success grub> kernel --type --no-mem-option linux grub> kernel --type=linux --no-mem-option
and could not proceed further
Kindly advise the correct syntax
I found # whereis kernel kernel: /usr/src/linux/kernel /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r7/kernel
Also what shall I input in the next step grub> module (file) What shall I type for 'file'
Thanks in advance.
