OpenBSD Live-CD

Hi,

I would like to build my own OpenBSD Live-CD. In this way, I have using a howto on alti.at site (http://www.alti.at/knowhow/obsdlivecd/index.php).

But after some commands, I always got the same error.

After some commands, I enter that:

Code:

# cd /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd 
# rm -rf obj/* 
# make

And after some minutes of compilation, this error come:

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd (line 30 of /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisk_cd/../common/Makefile.inc).

I precise I use OpenBSD 4.2 and a have a lot of place of DD. I have trying to install it (with the default install) on 20 Go with only two partitions: 16 Go for / (root) and 512 Mo for swap. But I've got the same error.

If you have an idea about the final error, it's would be very helpfull

Thank you.

Sorry for my poor english.

Best regards and happy new year 2008.

Thanks for your answer.

The command df -h | grep /mnt/bsd return nothing. I also try to enter this one which give this:

Code:

# df -h                 
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      2.0G    1.6G    307M    84%    /
/dev/svnd0a    2.8M    2.8M    4.5K   100%    /mnt

I belive the solution to solve the problem could be to up the size of /mnt partition. But I don't know how doing this.

The rule of interpreting error messages is to look at the FIRST error message rather than the last one, if you want an idea of the cause of the problem.

Code:

/mnt: write failed, file system is full
dd: /mnt/bsd: No space left on device

is consistent with the /mnt partition being full. As is this;

Code:

# df -h                 
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      2.0G    1.6G    307M    84%    /
/dev/svnd0a    2.8M    2.8M    4.5K   100%    /mnt

Essentially you need to either work out how to free space on your /mnt partition, or work out a way to make it larger than 2.8M.

The joys of digging up old posts ....
