I have the MiSTer SD card plugged into my PC, but I can't mount the root partition. I can find only the MiSTer_Data partition.
There is a second 3MB partition on the card, but I'm unable to mount it. Linux doesn't seem to recognize the file system.
I need to fix something in /etc. How can I mount the root FS on the SD card?
The next update is going to overwrite it, so the practical advice would be to use /media/fat/linux/user-startup.sh to modify things you need every time system boots.
However, if you really want to update root fs and really understand all implications and side effects, the root fs is in the linux/linux.img. But, again, that is not what you want to do.

The root "partition" is not a partition on your SD card. It is the "linux.img" file on your data partition under "linux". To mount that all you need to do is use the "mount" command on your Linux (or Windows with WSL) machine...
From there you can modify what you need in the /etc/ directory.
Code: Select all
mkdir ~/mister_root
mount linux.img /home/bbond007/mister_root
cd ~/mister_root/etc
Hope that helps...
That's exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!
