RE: [Trinux-talk] Newbie Question: Hard Drive Woes

[Richard T. <ri...@th...>]

My two cents...

First, does the mount point /mnt exist?

I think Trinux creates mount points for
found partitions, but it names them
/hda1, etc...

Next, check 'dmesg | less' and see what
partitions are available.

Subject: [Trinux-talk] Newbie Question:
Hard Drive Woes


First, I must say that I am very
impressed with Trinux and I hope that
the project continues to live on and
develop.

I have been looking everywhere for a
bootdisk that will load a linux
operating system with network support
wherever I go.

I am sort of new at Linux so please
excuse my ignorance.

I am trying to mount hard drives. I know
that it should be trivial and
seems like everyone else can do it but
me. Is there some file I need to
modify?

Here is what I am trying right now:

1. Boot using Trinux (network distro)
2. After successfully leasing an IP from
the DHCP server, and getting the
files, I log in.
3. I try "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt" -->
"/dev/hda1 unknown device"

I have tried this on two computers where
/dev/hda1 should be NTFS or
FAT32. For the NTFS I loaded the ntfs.o
kernel module after bootup.

Am I doing something blunnderingly
stupid?

Thanks,
-Aaron Lee
