Linux can't find something..

How do you boot Linux? Floppy / CD ?

Where on IDE is your DOS drive? Your Tivo drive?

Following assumes DOS is primary master.
Tivo drive is secondary master.

Did you mount the floppy and DOS drive:
With floppy in the drive, with mfstool on floppy:


mkdir /mnt/floppy
mkdir /mnt/dos

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos

/mnt/floppy/mfstool restore -i /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdc
