More noob questions… /mnt not mounting

[iamhumanipromise]

Hey there!

Yet another noob question during install, and I've tried googlfu which has failed.

I thought I was following the wiki steps accurately, but then encounter the message shown in the photo.

Anyone have any "pro tips"?

(I know this is such a basic question, but really eager to get passed the unfamiliar territory into enjoying my PowerBook again!)

Is your future root-fs mounted to /mnt? It looks as if you only mounted /mnt/boot/grub for the bootstrap partition.

So yes, create your rootfs partition and format it, then mount it to /mnt first. Then you create /mnt/boot/grub and mount your bootstrap partition there.
