unable to boot JFS root on Crux 2.7
 

I only recently discovered Crux, while looking for a small distro to use as the basis of a virtual appliance. *I downloaded the ISO, created a VM, and followed the directions in the handbook to install. *For some crazy reason, I decided to give JFS a try as my root file system. *Unfortunately, my disk won't boot. *I can boot from the ISO and mount the disk just fine, but the VM's Phoenix BIOS skips over the disk and goes straight to PXE.



Here's my lilo.conf:## /etc/lilo.conf: lilo(8) configuration, see lilo.conf(5)#
lba32install=text

boot=/dev/sdaimage=/boot/vmlinuz* * * * label=CRUX* * * * root=/dev/sda1* * * * read-only* * * * append="quiet"

Here's my fstab:## /etc/fstab: static file system information## <file system> * * * *<dir> * * <type> * *<options> * * * * * * *<dump> <pass>
