HD Install :: Can I use fromhd= home= opt= at the same time?

Is it possible to use dsl fromhd=/dev/hda1 home=hda1 opt=hda1 on my boot line?

I get an error because hda1 is mounted as non-writeable /cdrom. Do I need a second disk for this? If not, where do I create my initial /home and /opt?

This is just a guess, but maybe it will work if you throw "toram" into the mix. As far as I can tell this would load the system into ram, freeing up the harddrive so it can be mounted for home and opt.

Try adding "frugal" to your boot commands

Thanks folks for the great suggestions!

I don't have enough memory for toram, so I'll have to check that out later...

Frugal gives me the ability to modify files on my hard drive, which I could not do before with fromhd.

The system can't seem to mount my home or opt because it is already mounted...I'll keep working on it!

Holy crap....
I've been using DSL for over a year, and never noticed the frugal boot option. That's beautiful!
I think it's time to reconsider my partition setup again. Thanks.
