A while back, I got the latest grml, burned it, and have now finally returned to it. Contrary to the last (0.7) version, this one actually sees a valid partition on my second hard drive, /dev/hdc. Grml proceeds to install and continues 'til it's killed. My disk is only 2 Gb, and Grml wants 2.7 Gb.
So, I download grml-small, boot into it, and grml2hd[*] reports:
Error: partition=/dev/hdc1 does not seem to be an existing partition.
Please use a program like cfdisk to create partition partition=/dev/hdc1 and restart grml2hd.
Ok.
Both fdisk and cfdisk show the partition, and full Grml took it and ran with the install. So, what's grml-small's problem?
Seems you're mixing bootoptions for grml2hd with interactive mode:
[*] grml2hd partition=/dev/hdc1 mbr=/dev/hdc filesystem=ext2 \ user=keeling root=/dev/hdc1
You seem to be running this command in the shell, right? Of course it won't work then, because you specified 'partition=/dev/hdc1' as your partition instead of just '/dev/hdc1'.
'partition=/dev/ice' is relevant only for automated installation of grml2hd, see 'man grml2hd'.
