Gentoo’s /bin/ash
I was getting this message with Gentoo’s (Linux) 2004.3 livecd:
Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for newroot/dev
>> Attempting to mount CD:- /newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0BusyBox v1.00-pre7 (2004.07.21-17:47+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter ‘help’ for a list of built-in commands/bin/ash: can’t access tty; job control turned off
/ #
I figured out the fix was on bootup to specify ide=nodma on boot, so the full command is
gentoo ide=nodma
This allows it to boot (took me about a half hour to figure out).
