can't id drive
« on: March 13, 2011, 04:27:37 PM »
stuck at this install step....

Mount the original boot media. For this guide, TC was booted from an IDE cd-rom drive on the second channel:
mount /mnt/hdc

i am installing from an external USB cd/dvd drive and have no idea what to enter here.

Mount Tool on the menu bar (it's also available through the control panel) should show you what devices you have.

FWIW, on my box the (built-in) CD drive is sr0 [that's zero, not oh].

got all the way down to:

Run GRUB:

grub

and all i get is:

GNU GRUB version 0.97 (640k lower / 3072k upper memory)
       [minimal bash-like blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah]

grub>

..and that's all...

What happens when you type:

root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

You may need to change "root (hd0,0)" to whatever partition you have Tiny Core on.

What partition is it?

Don't change "setup (hd0)"

Many people see what is. Some people see what can be, and make a difference.

You can use grub's built in 'find' to determine the drive and partition.


grub> find /boot/tinycore.gz
 (hd0,0)
