However, I decide to install via a stage one install on a pentiumPro-200MHz. After a few days of compiling it works fine except for a boot-mounting problem. Basically, the /dev/hda1 as /boot is not getting mounted automatically upon boot /etc/fstab: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noatime,notail 1 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 cat /proc/mounts upon reboot: cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 cat /etc/mtab: /dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0 So I manually mount /boot: mount /dev/hda1 /boot and now they look fine(?) cat /etc/mtab /dev/hda3 / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 cat /proc/mounts rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0 proc /proc proc rw,nodiratime 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0 /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0 so I re-run 'grub-install /dev/hda' but I get the same proble, /boot is not mounted upon reboot. Ideas on fixing this? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
