I am having problems with my installation of ARM-Linux on my Acorn RiscPC
I have a the kernel booting, and then I insert my root disk, and press
return.
There seems to be 2 parts of the installation..
the REDHAT setup begins and asks me to specify where to install from:
I choose IDE (ATAPI CD-ROM)
My cdrom is mounted as read only and then it seems to check the Volume
label
and tell me that redhart linux is not on my cd-rom.
I have downloaded the /distrib/Redhat directory from the arm-linux
ftp archive.. I have made 3 CD's with the Redhat install files..
And I am frustrated now..
I do have a network card.. so maybe I could install through NFS..
I choose an install method and get to insert the supplement disk..
after it loads I can press F2 and get to a command prompt..
I try to mount my CDROM, but I can not get it to work, I keep getting an
error saying
it can not mount because it is a read only file system..
I do this..
#mknod /dev/hdb b 3 64
#mkdir /cdrom
#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom
then I get the error message..
If I could get the cdrom to mount, I might be able to get RedHat
Installed..
I have been using the install text that is on the ftp server..
it has been most helpful..
anyhow..
If anyone knows how I can get my CD-rom to mount properly,
or how I can efficiently install REdhat on my RiscPC I would
