|
|
1) Put kern.flp in your floppy drive
2) When it asks for it put the mfsroot.flp in your floppy drive
3) In the installation menu select the 'fixit' option
4) Now hit ALT+F4
5) You now are in the fixit shell
The fixit floppy is mounted in /mnt2
6) Mount your harddisk with:
mount /dev/ados1a /mnt
(the first ide disk, the first partition)
7) Now your harddisk is mounted as the way you want (in my case 'rw')
*) Type exit to exit this shell. Exit the installation and reboot |
