unknown filesystem -from bootloader
Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 12:03 am
My bootloader is the same as the one below (im on my phone so i cant upload mine)
just with different contents for variables.
It assemble okay, and it copies to a floppy as expected, but...
I've had these problems with bootloaders before, but never could figure out what got em fixed. Please look at my code and see what you found that would do this.
just with different contents for variables.
It assemble okay, and it copies to a floppy as expected, but...
Code: Select all
blabtop:/mnt/sda/casnix3.0/src/boot # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/sda does the same
Code: Select all
