I'm trying to make my own gentoo bootcd, by it doesn't boot, this is an screenshot taken in vmware:
[img:2eaa99dd78]http://blubber.student.utwente.nl/vmware.png[/img:2eaa99dd78]

This is my isolinux.cfg:
Code:

default gentoo

timeout 300
prompt 1
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 help.msg

label gentoo
        kernel kernel
        append initrd=initrd acpi=off root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc


What am I doing wrong?

I've got it booting, but I wan't to create a filesystem that uses a loopback file on the CD, just like je gentoo CD. In my init script I did the same thing as the gentoo boot CD:

Code:

mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
losetup /dev/loop0 /newroot/mnt/cdrom/fs.loop
mount -o ro -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /newroot/mnt/loop


But when booting linux complains that there is no /dev/loop0:
losetup: /dev/loop0: No such device or address

But loop0 is just made...
