Dave~ I got the kernel reconfigured. after a reboot, mount /boot, and re-run of mindi using my kernel and syslinux, I still get the ambiguous redirect, but it seems to complete with the following messages:
1722k boot disk was NOT created. Warning! (about the kernel size).. This error is not fatal if you plan to backup to CD (which I do). 2880k boot disk was created OK………….. Done In the directory ‘/root/images/mindi’ you will find the following images:- mindi-boot.2880.img mindi-data-1.img mindi-data-2.img
Would you like to create boot+data floppy disks now (y/n)?
If I’m going to create this ‘test’ as a bootable cd, do I say ‘n’ to this ? If I do, how can I create the test cd ?
Sorry for the elemental nature of these questions, but the docs don’t really help much (they’re dated 2002), and the channel isn’t offering any help at all.
Thanks again for the assistance.

Do you have the following in the config file for your kernel?
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y

I just emerged mondo-rescue. going through the docs, they say to ‘test’ with mindi. Regardless of the options I choose, mindi fails with ambiguous redirect errors.
The end result is always: Fatal Can’t loopmount /tmp/tmp.XXXX/mindilinux… does your kernel support loopfs? your linux distro is broken.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. The bugz page for mondo doesn’t come up (page not found), the mondo irc channel is a ghost town (has been for almost a month), and the gentoo channel people apparently don’t use mondo.
