extlinux and block loopbacks
...hda1 is a device node for the loopback.
But when I run extlinux, it complains:
extlinux: cannot find device for path /boot
I'm confused. I know that extlinux is reading /etc/mtab, and I know
that the loopback node (/dev/hda1) works. Furthermore, if I copy the
entire disk image onto a USB keydrive, change the /dev/hda1 device
node to point to the appropriate device, chroot, and run extlinux,
everything goes happily.
Is there some intrinsic incompatibility between extlinux and the block
loopback device? I'm at a loss.
Thanks!
