A BIOS system, or GUID?
thing I changed in the suggested setup was that I placed the boot code on the root partition on that disk, instead of in the MBR of my first disk (which is part of the production disk set, so I don't want to fool around with that).
Intallation went without a glitch, but it won't boot, complaining that /dev/root cannot be found. I am presented with the choice to seek it on /dev/dsf2 (the root partition of the experiment disk), but refuses to respond to the keyboard (except for Ctrl-Alt-Del, which leads to a reboot...).
In my experience, not finding /dev/root means limited initrd content fails to match up correctly to the installation. If what you installed from was the M0 DVD iso, I suggest you try again, but with the boot.iso or installation kernel and initrd started from Grub, and do the installation from HTTP repo, which is how I do nearly all my installations. Newer versions of kernel, installer and/or dracut may well avoid repeating the problem. Before going that route, access the 13.2 grub menu file and fstab to ensure the root device specified makes sense, and an initrd actually exists. If there is no initrd, a chroot repair could be easier than starting over. If a BIOS system, ensuring resource enumeration hasn't caused a conflict between actual initrd content and what it should contain may provide a clue or solution to what happened. If a GUID system, nor further content from here. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
