 |
|
i'm on the stage of the installation guide where you emerge grub, but when I try it says
| Code: | >>> Merging sys-boot/grub-0.94-r1 to /
cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
cat: /proc/mounts: No such file or directory
*
* Cannot automatically mount your /boot partition.
* Your boot partition has to be mounted rw before the installation
* can continue. grub needs to install important files there.
*
!!! ERROR: sys-boot/grub-0.94-r1 failed.
!!! Function mount-boot_mount_boot_partition, Line 53, Exitcode 0
!!! Please mount your /boot partition manually!
!!! FAILED preinst: 1 |
...in the install guide it says to do
| Code: | # mkdir /mnt/gentoo/proc
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
|
which i did. emerge grub gives the error message above, but i tried
| Code: | | umount /mnt/gentoo/proc |
and then
| Code: |
mount -t proc /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
|
as suggested in another thread...neither thing worked, and i continue to get the same error...if these things aren't working, what should I try, and how would i mount the boot partition manually? |

Outside of the chroot environment. This will mount your boot partition:
| Code: |
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
|
Modify hda1 to fit your setup

you must mount proc like this (outside the chroot environment!):
| Code: | | mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc |
