Not directly related to the error you're getting, but I tried evaluati= ng 3=2E8 in a recent version of virtualbox, the iso could never boot using = both efi and mbr=2E 3=2E7 worked fine however=2E

On my other machine, 3=2E8 boots fine with efi only, mbr won't work=2E= I was wondering whether i could have mbr with an older version and have di= scovered that the most recent alpine which could boot this particular machi= ne with mbr is version 3=2E5=2E2=2E

Bottom line is, i'd try an older version of alpine and go from there= =2E Luckily, flash drives are fast and the iso images are small enough to g= o through the alpine versions

Gents,

= I'm trying to install and evaluate Alpine 3=2E8=2E0 on an old 32bit Mac Min= i circa 2007=2E All seems to be working, except that in the boot process I = receive:

"mounting /dev/sda3 on /s= ysroot failed: no such file or directory"

At first my search lead me to think that because I installed a 64 b= it filesystem on that partition, and syslinux does not supp= ort it, we were seeing this error=2E Sadly, reverting to a 32 bit ext f= or (with resize2fs -s /dev/sda3) has not effect=2E

What is odd is that once dropped into the emergency= shell, I can mount the filesystem with 'mount -t ext4 /dev/sda3 /sysroot' = and exit, and all works just fine=2E Just out of desperation I tried modify= ing /etc/fstab and a few other mounting related files, all with no effect, = which leads me to believe this is happening somewhere in step 4 of the boot sequence, just before things are handed over to o= penrc=2E

Does anyone know where exactly th= is mounting is done? I also checked refined (the EFI 'manager' I am using o= n this Mac) and it correctly specifies the UUID for this disk=2E I've been = at this for 3 days and have exhausted all the documentation and searching t= here is; hoping some of the experts here can help=2E
