Hi folks,
I seem to be in trouble again...
I downloaded pre-alpha-r32645 and put the image on a USB stick to install
on the ThinkPad. The ThinkPad won't boot from a stick, so my scheme
previously was to run the Installer from an existing partition to copy
everything over, and then run makebootable from system/bin in the new
partition to complete things.
This time it doesn't work. makebootable stops with "Failed to read",
which looks from the source to mean it didn't get the bootblocks from
the resources. Assuming that the resource *is* in fact there [how do I
tell?], I suppose that it's getting LoadResource from the older library
and there's some incompatibility.
So, what do I do to get a bootable partition?
