mounting regular filesystem in text boot (D+B)
« on: July 06, 2004, 07:57:01 am »
these hints by Miami Bob are quite precious, and the whole forum should be able to access'em.
To you all - thank you Bob



"OK. Once you have the command line as root, make two subdirectories somewhere. I usually use \tmp\ & call mine rut & hum -

mkdir \tmp\rut
mkdir \tmp\hum

Next:

mount /dev/mtdblock2 /tmp/rut
mount /dev/mtdblock3 /tmp/hum

This mounts your "NAND" root as /tmp/rut & home as /tmp/hum. VERY carefull since you can now write places that shouldn't be written (G).

You won't be able to use the "usual" IPKG to install a terminal because it will try to place it in the D+B root and home. Probably have to place the files by hand.

I'll have to look at the contents and see what would be needed to put them in place manually."

Thanks, scoutme. But credits really need to go to StuBear since I originally got the info from one of his posts (G)!

Glad that passing them along helped, though.
