I installed via ftp to an internal Seagate drive using Scott R. Every's
installer.1999.coff (from 8/17, I think) and then booted from a floppy with
vmlinux.coff (8/23) using /dev/sda1 as my root partition.
I copied the vmlinux and System.map files to my /boot directory along with a
copy of /etc/quik.conf. I edited /boot/quik.conf to the following:
# My quik.conf
timeout = 50
image = /vmlinux
label = linux
root = /dev/sda1
Here's what I get when I try to run quik:
/sbin/quik -v -C /boot/quik.conf
Second-stage loader is on /dev/sda8
Config file is on partition 8
Fatal error: /dev/sda is not a mac-formatted disk
I have gone back and formatted the drive in a Mac and after doing so and
installing LinuxPPC again, I could not boot even from a floppy with vmlinux on
it.
Currently, my partitions are configured like this:
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 1388711 28996 1287957 2% /
/dev/sda8 40182 2007 36100 5% /boot
/dev/sda7 72360 13 68610 0% /extra
/dev/sda5 398107 277616 99931 74% /usr
I am at my limit for troubleshooting this and I welcome any advice I can get.
