Hi,
I'm also trying to put miniRTL on IDE. I'm stuck at the very first
step!
My hard-disk (hda) has an ext2 filesystem. I would like to know if
I can make an msdos fs on hda1 without affecting the present system. I had
checked cfdisk, fdisk and sfdisk utilities, but I'm missing something. Can
you please help?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ramesh
I'm trying to put minirtl on an ide disk.
boot it from the floppy, then
1) create a 2MB msdos fs on /dev/hda1
2) create a 4MB++ minix fs on /dev/hda2
put the image file from the floppy on /dev/hda1
this system can now boot from ide into a RAMDISK
to now put it on the IDE disk so that it will actually run
from the IDE.
1) boot the system into ramdisk
2) upload a default version of cp (the one from busybox laks the -R flag)
3) mount the minix partition under /mnt
4) cd /
5) cp -pRd * /mnt (excluding /mnt naturally...)
