Hello,
I have a RedHat Linux 7.2 system with a /boot partition on /dev/hda1. The grub
config mounts the boot partition on /boot and root on /dev/hda2.
However, when I try to boot from a syslinux floppy and mount the root filesystem
on /dev/hda2, the system seems to load the kernel and mount the the root
filesystem, but then stops. There is no error message, but init does not
proceed load.
When I try to mount the root filesystem on /dev/hda1 (ie, root=/dev/hda1), the
system compains that it cannot find init.
Shouldn't I be able to simply boot off of my floppy and mount /dev/hda2 as
the
root filesystem? I'm really at a loss here, so any help appreciated.
Thanks.
Bill
