Busybox fdisk problems

[Neeraj Vaidya]

I did not create the /mnt/cdrom mount point while creating the initrd. so could it be because of that , that this directory s not getting recognized.
I wish I had that linux box with me in office. will try this strace thing and keep you posted.
Thanks for the help

I figured that it might be something like that.

Try to run this command with `strace`, e.g.:

strace -f -o /tmp/trace.out mount -v -t iso9660 /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom

You should then see the name of the file it is looking for in the
file /tmp/trace.out. Usually this is caused by either the device
file's absence, a missing mount point or a missing mount-helper (which
is not applicable for busybox's mount applet, AFAIK).

Feel free to attach your strace output to the next message and we'll
have a look.

P.S.: CC'ed busybox ML again.
