Install 'by hand'

Hello,

I have problem with installation SliTas v.3.0 on my old laptop (toshiba satelite pro 4600. 10GB HDD, 512MB RAM)

I can't use CDROM becuse its broken

What i do:

1'st i create two paritions, for data and swap

then:

$ mkswap /dev/sdb1

$ mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdb2

$ mkdir /media/iso

$ mount -o loop slitaz-3.0.iso /media/iso/

$ mkdir /media/hdd

$ mount /dev/sdb2 /media/hdd/

$ mkdir /media/hdd/boot

$ cp -a /media/iso/boot/vmlinuz* /media/hdd/boot/

$ cp -a /media/iso/boot/rootfs* /media/hdd/

$ lzma d rootfs.gz -o | cpio -id

lzma: błędna opcja -- 'o'

lzma: Try `lzma --help' for more information.

cpio: niespodziewany koniec archiwum

$ lzma -d rootfs.gz -fc | cpio -id

$ grub-install --root-directory=/media/hdd /dev/sdb

$ nano /media/hdd/boot/grub/menu.lst

title  SliTaz GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernel 2.6.34-slitaz)

       root(hd0,0)

       kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-slitaz root=/dev/hda1 vga=normal

$ umount /dev/sdb2

Then i put HDD on my laptop, start and i have GRUB CLI (like this: http://aaron-kelley.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/grub.png )

and i cant start distro.

I use Fedora, and IDE adapter

THX 4 your help.

Re: Install 'by hand'

Ok works.

1st edit menu.lst and change /dev/hda1 to hda2

and kernel version (my bad)

$ nano /media/hdd/boot/grub/menu.lst

title SliTaz GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernel 2.6.34-slitaz)

root(hd0,0)

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.34-slitaz root=/dev/hda2 vga=normal

And then:

$ grub-install --root-directory=/media/hdd /dev/sdb
