I'm trying to do a full native install. I've formatted my 10GB drive and sent over the rootfs file.
Code: Select all
Resctoox:> ls -l /mnt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 3 2003 e
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 Oct 18 22:11 hda2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 18 22:33 loopback
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 3 2003 swap
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 3 2003 temp
Code: Select all
Resctoox:> df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 24785 22359 1146 96% /
/dev/root 24785 22359 1146 96% /
/dev/hda2 9269728 4132912 5136816 45% /mnt/hda2
Looks good so far, but wait...there's more!
Code: Select all
Resctoox:> mount -o loop /mnt/hda2/rootfs /mnt/loopback
mount: Mounting /mnt/hda2/rootfs on /mnt/loopback failed: Not a directory
Now that's just baloney. How do I mount rootfs to copy the files from it?

Oh, and mount /mnt/hda2/rootfs /mnt/loopback -o loop=/dev/loop/0 fails with "Block device required"

Sounds to me like your rootfs file is incomplete or corrupt in some way…
