Not sure when this happened, but I suspect it was a libata related change. It seems when the documentation was updated, the person doing it just did a: find /path -type f -name \*.xml | xargs sed -i -e 's/hda/sda/' which results in the following: > #:CoLo:# > mount sda1 > load /kernel.gz.working > execute root=/dev/sda3 ro console=ttyS0,115200 Similarly for the menu example. CoLo doesn't know anything about "sda", and so it b0rks. I discovered this the hard way when I just mindlessly copied and pasted my own example from the documentation. I am in the midst of doing a CVS check-out now to generate a patch, however the following script should fix this: find gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc -type f -name hb-install-mips-bootloader.xml \ | xargs sed -i \ -e 's/^mount sda/mount hda/' \ -e 's/Mounting sda/Mounting hda/'
Created attachment 265391 [details, diff] Fixes to examples in documentation The aforementioned patch. Commit at will.
Not against anything but the English handbook in /doc/en/, please. Translation teams have to roll their own updates; we can't do that for them. Can you split out the changes? Thanks!

Thanks! sed -i -e 's/^mount sda/mount hda/' \ -e 's/Mounting sda/Mounting hda/' \ doc/en/handbook/hb-install-mips-bootloader.xml I recall we used to do it in bulk; not sure why it'd be different for other languages since I'm not changing the non-English text, just correcting an example configuration file, which is currently wrong regardless of the language. Anyway, rather than individual patches; the above sed script will patch it regardless of the language.
Fixed in CVS. (The only reason why I didn't originally want to do the other languages was because I didn't want to find each one and manually revbump them. I went ahead and did all that anyway, since otherwise people can't install Gentoo on their MIPS boxes. I even included the revbump.)

When I did something like that in the past, the issue was indeed finding out which languages were on the last revision already (which means that these only need a revbump + update, where the revbump still needs manual intervention) and which were lagging, because one can't safely touch these.
