Re: Cannot mount / when booting from disk
:> The most common problem is with BIOSes which try to automatically
:> recognize the operating system and then put the disk in a weird mode
:> that prevents the OS from being able to access the disk...
:
:The reason I didn't consider this sort of thing is that I would
:expect the BIOS to pull the same trick whether booting a CD or
:booting from disk. So, why should the install-CD not have the
:same problem? Same BIOS...
BIOSes operate on CDs very, very differently from hard drives. There
is no slice table and the CD is limited in size.
