Not working. I think I've read and reread this entire thread a min of 5x.
For the partition table. When you say an msdos partition table, it doesnt mean that. We have to do anything right? Just use the normal fdisk
Eg:
/dev/sda1 - new partition. Start at 2048 sectors (changes from block to sectors w option "u") and put the size as +10M (for 10mb). This partition is unformatted
/dev/sda2 - new partition. Size Is +500M (500mb)
Sda2 is formatted as ext3 and the rootfs is put inside this partition.
/use/local/mac_addr is created.
./disk_create is executed
It still comes up w the LED blinking. Dang!!
I don't have a serial cable w me to do diagnostics. Is there any other way to figure out what's wrong? Prhaps some missing steps from the above?
