Hi all
I've managed to build my first Gentoo embedded disk on VMware using
the instructions from the wiki. It all boots and loads up but the /
boot and the /mount/dongle mounts fail. The wiki has instructions for
a usb dongle, but I modified the fstab slightly to work for a drive.
If I try fdisk /dev/sda it says it can't find /dev/sda. /dev/sda and /
dev/sda* (1-4) exist in the /dev directory. I have also tried
deleting them and using mknod and mdev instead without success.
I have added the scsi drivers in the kernel (as vmware emulates scsi).
I get no errors in the /var/log/messages.
/etc/fstab is
none /tmp tmpfs
defaults 0 0
none /proc proc
defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2
noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/dongle ext2
defaults 0 0
I would really appreciate some pointers.
Many thanks
Colin
