Five Eyes sounds cool.....
Meanwhile, got kexecboot working....
Have created new partitions:
/dev/hda1 FAT32 (100MB)
/dev/hda2 linux swap (256MB)
/dev/hda3 linux (rest of 6GB drive...)
Did the following to mount the filesystems:
# mkfs.vfat /dev/hda1
# mkdir boot
# mount /dev/hda1 boot
# mkswap /dev/hda2
Having problem creating fs for ext3 or ext4 for /hda3......
Everything I try, I get not found message....
Tried:
# mksf.ext3 /dev/hda3
# mksf -t ext3 /dev/hda3
# mkext3fs /dev/hda3
What's the right way?
Thanks!
Hi ArchiMark,
First, I believe there is no need for a FAT32 boot partition if you want to run Arch.
If you are using the sharp emergency console, (busybox), it will have no ext3/4 support I think.
You will need to boot of a newer ROM from a SD card to create the file system with ext3/4.
Alternatively, create a ext2 /dev/hda4 with 2GB, mkfs ext2 then install Arch, once installed and booted of ext2, mkfs ext3 on hda3 and move Arch.
Boot to ext3 and the remove hda4 and extend your hda3.
Actually a good point raised, we need to cover this issue in the install guide somehow.
Cheers,
