[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, The task at hand is to create a bootable CD with a custom kernel. I'm using the Walnut Creek 3.4 release as my starting point. I think I need some help with the memory file system. When booting, the machine unzips my kernel on the CD and detects all the necessary devices then I get the following: rootfs is 2880 Kbyte compiled in MFS WARNING: R/W mount of /mnt denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck error 1: panic: cannot mount root (2) Is this a problem with fstab in my memory file system image? Again my goal is not to install from the CD just boot with the memory filesystem. Any direction would be appreciated as I'm relatively new at this.
