 |
|
i downloaded all of the files listed and followed all instructions found here http://ps3wiki.qj.net/index.php/Gentoo_Howto but i hit a roadblock
when i get here
livecd / # cd /mnt/gentoo
livecd gentoo / # wget http://gentoo.osuosl.org/experimental/ppc64/stages/stage4-970-ps3_32ul.tar.bz2 (If already downloaded in advance, copy the file to /mnt/gentoo now)
livecd gentoo / # tar -xjpf stage4-970-ps3_32ul.tar.bz2
livecd gentoo / # mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
livecd gentoo / # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
livecd gentoo / # cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc
i cant seem to get the file copied off the usb drive, any help would be appreciated
i have no experience with gentoo or linux for that matter, every tutorial i have read says copy the files from a usb drive to /mnt/gentoo but i dont know how |

/dev/sdd1 is the first partition on your device represented as a "device node". You have to mount the device, before you can copy the file to your disk. try this:
| Code: |
$ mkdir /mnt/usbstick
$ mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/usbstick
$ cp /mnt/usbstick/stage4... /mnt/gentoo/
