Did you make2fs / format on your HDB3 as well? (before mounting)
Installation Problem BT3
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install BT3 and I'm having some probs. I should say 1st off I know my way around Linux but there are some areas where I'm not up to speed yet. I am trying to install BT3 on a second Hard Drive on a spare machine.
I've been looking at a tutorial on this forum which on the face of it looks quite good. I set up the HD partitions using fdisk the p command now returns:
To the best of my semi-noob knowledge this should work, feel free to tell me if not.Code:Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 * 1 1217 9775521 83 Linux /dev/hdb2 1218 1591 3004155 82 Linux swap /dev/hdb3 1592 4753 25398765 83 Linux
My next step was:
Appeared to work ok but next came the prob:Code:mkdir /mnt/backtrack
returns:Code:mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/backtrack/
I have CD'd and got to the point where I can view the /mnt/backtrack/ directory using ls so i don't understand the problem.Code:mount: No such file or directory
Can anyone give advice?
Many Thx

Try the above from Maxe.Originally Posted by Danboy
You may also need to reboot after running fdisk.
Sometimes the disks will not be properly synchronized and ready to be used, until after a reboot.

Exactly! But i might have been a bit wrong
If you want to use EXT3 as your file system, use the "mkfs.ext3"
command and if you want to use ext2, well i guess you know the
answer then ;-) (the command should be issued without quotes)
PS: I think make2fs is only available on Slackware or Slax =O~

Yeah mke2fs is the correct syntax.
When I read your post it still made sense, so I really didn't see the syntax error.
BTW mke2fs can make both ext2 and 3 file systems.

But mkfs.xxx should be able to make probably any filesystemmkfs.reiserfs << should be possible.
Anyways thanks for the other command as well ;-)

Thanks for the advice I got it working in the end (about 20:00 GMT yesterday, nearly 48 hours after my first attempt). I think I'll type up a full idiot-proof tutorial while I still remember how I did it then I can use that next time LoL
There are as many threads on installing bt3 as there are on which card to buy.
They are all idiot proof.
At least you got it working.
Now head over to scapy and start forging those packets.
