disklabel wd0
This will tell you where the dos partition is. Mine happens to be
wd0e if that matters.
: 2 how do I mount the single partition on my CF to pcmcia disk(128mb)?
: In the dmesg it lists it as wdc2 then as wd1. I mainly use linux
: so I made it an ext2 disk. I'm assuming this is ok, must it be ffs?
wd1<partion>. Again, disklabel will tell you. If it has a linux
partition, I don't know what happens, but I suspect that it will be
just like a DOS partition.
: 3 How do I union mount that pcmcia disk(128) correctly.
: It has all the compiling tools on it. I was doing it over nfs like
: this:
: mount -o union,exec machine:/nfs/z50/usr /usr
:
: the two problems are;
: 1 it still wont execute binaries, what am I missing?
: 2 changes are made to the 128 not the 256. Can this change?
No clue.
: 4 Can I union mount / ? It seems no.
: machine:/nfs/z50 has an unzip of the comp.tgz package with /usr
: and /lib. do I need to mount them seperately? It would make sence.
I've never been able to successfully do this.
