I've gotten zubuntu working following the instructions to run via the sd card... but
I was wondering what would be needed to get this running via the internal microdrive on my 3200?
I'd like to just have it running from 1 partition on the microdrive. (I've currently got a swap, / , and a data partition defined)
thanks,
Christopher.

Mount the microdrive, repartition it, format as ext2 then install rootfs&kernel onto the microdrive - reboot and voila?
What changes do I need to make to /etc/fstab to account for booting from a microdrive and/or having swap on the microdrive?
Or better yet... does someone have a sample fstab from a 3200 (or similar) that's running Zubuntu from the microdrive?
thanks,
Christopher.

I'm trying to copy the installation on the microdrive.. then i will check the fstab ...
i think only that you have to put /dev/hdaX (where x is the partition number) .. in the /etc/fstab mounted as /
i will update my post when copy will end
This is the fstab actually:

everything seems to work... just made a copy of the fs from the sd to the microdrive partition
What about this entry?
# we can use a normal var filesystem with a microdrive
# tmpfs /var tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /media/ram tmpfs defaults 0 0
I noticed when I did a mkswap that the system seems to preform much snappier (I have a 128mb swap partition, iirc).

Hi
What is the correct procedure to copy the SD card filesystem onto the microdrive of a 3200 ? I've CP-ed all folders 'cept MNT (because that would create an inifite loop ?) with the command "cp -r /foldername /mnt/cf " (where mnt/cf is the first partition of the microdrive)
it does not work. I get the "no bootable device found" error message..
