Mounting a md as a root filesystem.

2000-11-07 Thread Josef Karthauser 

I'm having trouble mounting an MD as a root filesystem from 5.0.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

/boot/loader:
# load /kernel
# load -t md /filesystemfile
# boot

PROBES,etc.

Manual root filesystem specification:
  fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype
  etc...

Yes, I do have MD_ROOT compiled into my kernel.

Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Shouldn't that be 'load -t md_root'?

Actually, it's md_image or mfs_root (see /sys/dev/md/md.c:446). Both of
these are mentioned in md(4).
