as I understand it, to edit the contents of the boot.img you


mount -o loop boot.img /mountpoint

but for me that returns mount: you must specify the filesystem type


now, when using the loop option I've never had to specify a type before and I think I've tried ever -t parameter there is. or maybe I haven't.


what am I missing?

the filesystem is msdos, so the code is:
mount -t msdos -o loop file.img /mountpoint Bye.

I realised soon after posting that I was lacking the msdos file system support in my kernel.


there goes my supposed gentoo wisdom credability.
