I'm following the instructions in http://linux390.marist.edu/download/inst.pdf using Chapter 7. Installation using VM - IPL from the VM reader
When I try to run: mke2fs /dev/mnda -b 4096 get : mke2fs 1.15, 18-Jul-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 mke2fs: No such device while trying to determine filesystem size So I tried : mke2fs /dev/dasdb -b 4096 mke2fs 1.15, 18-Jul-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 mke2fs: Invalid argument while trying to determine filesystem size ** Which device is (supposed to be) mapped to 192 ?
