Subject: Linux installation on DOC / problems / I need your help
Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 10:12:46 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <002c01c2a2a9$54ea2900$a2e4f4d8@nnn123> (raw)
I rebuild the kernel. Then I made this
1- run the driver
#modprobe doc2000
#modprobe docprobe
2- format the memory
#nftl_format /dev/mtd0 0 16777216
3- run nftl
#modprobe nftl
4- make a partition
#fdisk /dev/nftla
I make two partition first DOS, and second Linux.
5- make filesystem
#mkfs.msdos /dev/nftla1
#mke2fs /dev/nftla2
6-Install syslinux
#syslinux /dev/nftla1
7-configure boot and reboot
I don´t know if this procedure is correct, but when reboot the bios not
found a valid boot device.
When I format all memory with nftl_format command I delete the TrueFFS bios
of MSYS. This is Ok ?
I try then to overwrite the TrueFFS bios driver
DFORMAT /WIN:E000 /S:DOC512.EXB /NOFORMAT /FIRST
but display an error, can´t write the bios.
I do so that the bios recognize the DOC like a valid device of boot.
I try also to format with MSYS utility, then create a 2MB of DOS partition.
Boot with linux and format the last 14 MB of memory with
nftl_format. But when startup nftl driver says "we don´t support
UnitSizeFactor!=1" and it is not possible to work with a nftl partition.
I will appreciate any commentary, thank you for your time.
Regards,
Alejandro Gonzalez
