So I experimented a little with mouting, labels and hard drives when i ran into a problem.  I tested to mount two hard drives, in the same computer to different "/...". I followed the tutorial and it worked for one of the drives, the one with OpenOS installed. The other one didn't mount automatically as stated in its autorun.lua Thinking it might be a id conflict I changed one of the programs into autorun_data.lua That didn't seem to work either. I guess you can only run one autorun.lua however I'm not sure how to define each HDD to separate directories. If I'd guess I would need a variable set to the addresses. However I'm not how exactly. Any help would be appreciated as I try to learn this mod.

Edit. OK... now it worked. I don't understand... but that's good. I'd still like to know if there's a way to set addresses to variables just for fun.

A tablet cannot be connected to external component and if the stargate is not connected it won't work.

Awh that's too bad. I was playing with the thought of being able to send the IDC via a tablet. Like in the show where they send it over so HQ will open the iris. 

I started all over, twice. After reading up on filesystem I think I might have figured it out. Apparently "/"  denotes root folder and the mod doesn't like if you try to mount it, instead creating additional folders in the mnt/123 folder of the root system (so as I tried to mount the root fs as /sys, instead it created a new folder under "/" called sys.), if you try to follow the tutorial.  Seems hard-coded that root fs can't be mounted differently, at least not as a beginner. There was several other commands on the wiki, one might fix it. But I wouldn't know. Also being a root fs seems to stop autorun as I had it set to mount the hdd as the tutorial said. Before installing OpenOS and starting the problems. 

It worked the first time but then I hadn't installed OpenOS, instead running it off the floppy. So I guess installing OpenOS on the drive makes it behave that way. I'll check if the mount command gives as much info as the wiki hinted at tomorrow. Feels like the tutorial is a bit outdated. 

I'm really new on this mod and LUA in general. So I have no idea what I may have done wrong. I followed the tutorial for how to mount and label a hard drive and things worked great. I then attempted to install OpenOS from the floppy and things went south. It replaced my label and when I use df it show that the disk is mounted on "/   " Going via mnt/ I found the disk on the standard three letters mount. On the disk all these /bin, /lib and stuff was installed aswell as init.lua and my autorun.lua However attempting to remount the disk on what I want isn't working. It claims that there's no directionary called that. I even trashed the disk and tried again, same result.

I have tried to explain this as good as I can... hopefully someone might be able to help.
