Description Tobias 2004-03-26 07:37:50 UTC
I was installing 2004 yesterday on my ataraid system and following the new handbook. One thing missing is any information on installing on ataraid. There should *at least* be this step: 

Don't forget to mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev before chtoot'ing!

And maybe some examples about how the partitions look, i.e. /dev/ataraid/disc0/part1. Also couldn't hurt to have some instruction in the kernel complation section pertaining to ataraid. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
You can't run /sbin/lilo if you don't mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev 
before chtoot'ing! 

Expected Results:  
lilo working

This needs to be added to the tips 'n tricks document (which isn't started yet). The same goes for #44273 (software raid).

I've added this to the tips 'n tricks document.

This is now in CVS, should be online in less than an hour.
