| 14:07.17 | pronk | what now? |
| 14:58.36 | pronk | booted an installation disk now running ash with nano from ram. I'll have to change the fstab somehow |
| 16:13.59 | simonrvn | pronk: they probably got renamed... happened to a b&w g3. i made the changes, and they got renamed very differently. hdc to sda in this case. you'll have to boot with root=youroldroot (e.g. /dev/hda3) to get back in. |
| 16:14.48 | simonrvn | pronk: in yaboot (when you see the boot: prompt) |
| 17:25.56 | pronk | simonrvn: indeed debian renamed something and I'm trying to guess the root partition at the moment as i don't know how to take a look at the HD itself. |
| 17:44.59 | pronk | right i was unable to guess a working combination |
| 17:45.59 | simonrvn | use the old one, it worked on my b&w |
| 17:46.14 | pronk | how would i know |
| 17:46.28 | simonrvn | then you can edit yaboot.conf and re-run ybin -v |
| 17:46.29 | pronk | i don't have a photgraphic memory |
| 17:46.55 | simonrvn | well, you're in busybox right? mount / and check the file |
| 17:47.32 | pronk | ah in yaboot, cool |
| 17:49.37 | simonrvn | no not yaboot, busybox is when it says (initramfs) |
| 17:52.22 | pronk | oh i'll go try that thank you very much (google is so useless these days someone should clean up the internet) |
| 18:32.07 | pronk | simonrvn: mount commands all give error: can't read /etc/fstab no such file or dir |
| 18:32.52 | simonrvn | mount -t foofs /dev/foo1 /somwhere ... |
| 18:33.25 | pronk | ok |
| 19:14.07 | pronk | oh, never mind. I'll have to create mount points, research the formatting of the partitions. Oh I have done this hours long dance all before and I can't correctly remember any of it. My notes are worthless and linux is a moronic system. The only reason I use linux is because debian is so reliable that you don't normally have to deal with the gnu crap. And now debian does the same stupid thing as ubuntu regarding going from ata to scsi emulation. |
| 19:15.40 | pronk | I'll unplug the drive and automount it somewhere, so i can read some config files with dignity instead of this dancing round the black abyss called prompt |
| 21:41.14 | simonrvn | pronk: what, mac-fdisk too complicated for you? :P |
