An annoying problem with mac68k-Installer v1.1.g (Oct 30, 1997) keeps
me from extracting base.tgz to successfully formatted root&usr filesystem.
Partition layout is as follows:
/dev/sda1 - 26.5k Apple Partition map
/dev/sda2 - 18.5k Mac Driver v8.1.4
/dev/sda3 - 20M Swap
/dev/sda4 - 2.0G ext2fs
/dev/sda5 - 2.0G BSD44 UFS
/dev/sda6 - 160M HFS
On startup, the Installer assigns sda4 to sd0a 'Root', sda3 to sd0b 'Swap',
sda5 to sd0d 'Usr' and sda6 to sd0e 'MacOS'. Consequently, it states
'failed mountfs(), error 22' and 'Error mounting root' (don't really expect
it to mount ext2 slice as /). Alas, the Linux kernel is compiled without
built-in UFS write support (still considered as experimental), so there
is no way to extract the tarballs to /dev/sda5. Any idea?
