to start, i'm really liking pdaxii3. I just have a few questions about some things that didn't happen for me according to the install guide at tyranozaurus.
first, I installed the akita version to my NAND (changed from 64MB to 121MB), and everything is great. when booting it does say 'module dependency [failed]' but everything seems to be working.
so i turned it all off, went back to the menu and partitioned and formatted the microdrive (using the generic pdaxii3 one, option 1 I believe, no custom partitioning), extracted the full image to it, and rebooted.
i was asked to use the second partition as swap and the third as data as I expected. I was not asked to copy anything like the guide says. do I need to just do this part manually? i'm not entirely sure about using bind on the /usr directory either. partition one (hdc1) automounts as /mnt/ide using about 141MBand three (hdc3) automounts as /data, like I expected.
That's about all the issues I have. Thanks.

didn't see a way to delete this, but i found the answer after-all. I guess I didn't quite use the right search terms

ok here is how i got it to work, based on the following post:
To upgrade pdaXii13 base to full on C3100/C3200, make sure your microdrive is mounted.
if /media/fakeroot does not exist, create it manually. after you reboot, it should prompt you to format hdd2 and hdd3 followed by asking you to copy /etc and /home before X is started.
if it doesn't happen, exit X and run mkfs.init
if nothing happens, remove /etc/.hdd and run mkfs.init again.
if still nothing happens, check what cat /proc/deviceinfo/product says and if it is not reporting the right model, then modify mkfs.init and remove the device check line
still didn't work for me. yeah, i realize it was a year ago. it would ask to format the partitions but not migrate anything to NAND
cat /proc/deviceinfo/product reported 3100. hmm.
i unmounted /dev/hda1 and then mounted it to /media/fakeroot, removed /etc/.hdd and ran mkfs.init again, and after it formatted the partitions, success it asked to migrate the directories to NAND, one after the other.
It was mostly a hunch I had after reading some more posts, and that worked i guess meanie probably meant for it to be read as 'make sure /media/fakeroot exists and this is what it's mounted to'. that's how i read it at least.
anyway, problem fixed and hopefully this can help anyone else who experiences this problem.
