Source Of Root File System Of Sharp Roms
« on: March 04, 2006, 11:15:25 am »
Hi! everyone.

I buy a zaurus c1000 recently.

Because of the write number of flash is limited, I want to mount the /home file system on a image of mmc card. But when I do this in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S01mounthome, the system can not boot up. I think the booting up process of sharp rom perhaps do something for sd card or /home so that the /home mounted on a image of mmc card can not be used.

I go to http://developer.ezaurus.com, but can just find the source of kernel without source of root file system. Where can I find the source of root file system for C1000.

Best Regards.

You won't find it - the SharpROM root file system is not GPL.

(which means it can't be built from scratch - one of the reasons for us to start working on OpenZaurus back in 2002)

Thank you for you replay.

I try openzaurus now and use rboot to use mmc card as root file system.
