[leaf-user] bering & IDE driver problem

Hi, I've been following the instructions from the user manual for putting berind on a IDE drive. My IDE drive is a 64MB SanDisk diskonchip module. When I execute the syslinux /dev/hda1 (or syslinux -s /dev/hda1) command I always get a warning message about something with permissions being possibly

I've mananged to install and boot wisp-dist on a Dell Dimension XPS P133c with a SanDisk 64M DoC module. As it boots up, it tries to do a mke2fs on something. This unfortunately fails with a segmentation fault. It then states: Failed to mount, falling back to TMPFS Making a 8M TMPFS filesystem...
