hello,
could you please offer possible ideas which may solve my problem?
today i installed the latest tinycore (the disk is in the computer, so I can only guess it's 4.2) with a pre-existing xp in hopes to have a dual boot computer. i can computer with the tinycore partition if i use the tinycore cd.
i thought everything was going ok. the grub screen came up which offers a choice between xp and tinycore. first i chose xp, and it booted right up to xp and i surfed a little, rebooted, and this time chose tinycore. unfortunately, the very first screen that came up provided me with the error message:
error 15: file not found
the first thing that needs to be mentioned is, that i chose 'manual install'. i am assuming that manual install still works.
the tinycore partition is sda2, so all references to hda1 were changed to sda2.
the cd drive is sr1, so all references to hdc were changed to sr1.
here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/zram0 swap swap defaults,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs noauto,users,exec,ro,umask=000 0 0 # Ad
