Mkfs.msdos: Command Not Found - What's Up With That?
« on: May 06, 2008, 07:22:56 pm »
Running Debian EABI on my 3200...

Was just trying to setup 3 partitions on a CF card, FAT16, ext2, and swap from Debian console...

fdisk worked fine...

No problem with setup for ext2 and swap, but having problem with FAT16 partition...

When I do

Code: [Select]
mkfs.msdos /dev/hdc1
mkfs.msdos: command not found

and when I try

Code: [Select]
mkfs.vfat /dev/hdc1
mkfs.vfat: command not found

 

Hope someone can please advise...

Thanks!
