I am attempting to use syslinux to build a custom bootable floppy and am
running into errors during the mounting of the disk. The error I am
recieving is the following:
No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext2 msdos vfat
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mouont root fs on
unknown-block(1,0)
Here is the script I am using to create the floppy:
#!/bin/sh
FLOPPY=/dev/fd0
MEM=/dev/ram0
RDEV=/usr/sbin/rdev
FDFMT=/usr/bin/fdformat
MKFS=/sbin/mkdosfs
SYSLINUX=/usr/bin/syslinux
MOUNT=/mnt/
clear
$FDFMT $FLOPPY
$MKFS -n booter $FLOPPY
$RDEV linux $MEM
$RDEV -R $MEM 1759
mount $FLOPPY $MOUNT -t vfat
cp -dfr linux $MOUNT
cp -dfr root.tgz $MOUNT
$SYSLINUX -s $FLOPPY
umount $FLOPPY
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
