Hi again. I'm trying to build a system from PWL onto the hard drive of an
"embedded" device. The hard drive is a 2G Hitachi laptop hard drive,
which I've removed from the embedded device and plugged into my
development PC's IDE bus as /dev/hdd. I built the filesystem and
"flashed" it to the drive ok (the disk is split into 2 partitions, with
the second partition being the one to be booted), but when I try to
install LILO, I get an error from mkBootDevice saying: "invalid Boot
Directory /mnt/boot". Here are my project.defaults:
export prjMnt="mnt" # Prompt: Project Mount Point
export prjCustomSrc="/usr/local/src" # Prompt: Project Custom Source
File pathexport bootLabel="pwlinuz" # Prompt: LILO Boot Label
# Initial defaults from flash disk (IDE type) parameters
export deviceType="FLASH" # Prompt: Device Type (DOC FLOPPY
CDROM FLASH)
export deviceName="Flash Disk" # Prompt: Device Name
export liloCustom="linear" # Prompt: LILO Custom Command
export liloImageCustom="" # Prompt: LILO Image Custom Command
export deviceMnt="/mnt" # Prompt: Device Mount Point
export deviceLoc="/dev/hdd" # Prompt: Device Type Node (/dev/xxx)
export devicePartition="2" # Prompt: Device Type Partition
export bootKernel="/boot/bzImage" # Prompt: Boot Image Path/name
export bootDevice="/dev/hda2" # Prompt: Boot Location
What am I doing wrong?
