Title: E2fsck With Altboot
Post by: BeKind on August 13, 2006, 04:58:36 am

Hi,

I have OZ 3.5.4 on collie.

I'm using altboot to boot a root file system from my SD card.  Is there any way to have it run e2fsck before mounting the SD card (on the ROM i have installed e2fsck for when the SD card messes up), or is that asking too much from altboot?

I'm replying to myself because I figured out how to do this.  There is an option in the altboot.cfg file that you can set and it will check the file system on the card before it attempts to boot from it.
