Bering v1.0-stable
AMD 586 24M ram 200M HDD

I followed the LRP Hard Disk HOWTO at
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/doc/howto/LRPHardDiskHOWTO.txt

I have been able to successfully mount a hard disk partition
once leaf has booted from floppy but I am having trouble getting
the boot from HDD going.


I have turned on VERBOSE and DEBUG in /linuxrc
and put a couple more debug lines in it.

My linuxrc.cfg (on hda1) has;
default linux initrd=initrd.lrp
 init=/linuxrc root=/dev/ram0 boot=/dev/hda1:msdos
 PKGPATH=/dev/fd0u1680
 LRP=root,etc,local,modules,iptables,ppp,pppoe,hdsupp_s,shorwall,dnscache,weblet
(all on one line)

I also tried removing the PKGPATH part as suggested in the
"booting Bering from a M-Systems DiskOnChip" howto at;
http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/leaf/devel/bradfritz/bering_contrib/doc/bud
iskonchip.xml?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

and tried with PKGPATH=/dev/hda1


On boot with no floppy in the drive,
Just prior to the mount command
/dev contains;
brw-r-----  1  0  0  3, 1  Nov 28 14:27 /dev/hda1
this looks OK to me.

When it gets to the point of trying to mount the boot device
around line 184 of linuxrc using the command;

mount -r -t msdos /dev/hda1 /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt

mount gives the error message;

mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /var/lib/lrpkg/mnt failed: Device not configured

My searching has shown this message in relation to CDROMs - when
there is no CD in the drive.

Not sure what to try next, any clues would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Andrew Braund
