If fstab is incorrect, then you get stuck read-only. There are ways around it, but before we go there, let's talk about your previous post.

-In the game os I inserted the YDL dvd and I went to install other os and installed the YDL otheros.bld

- Code: Select all
mount /dev/sda2 tmp
This is perfect - this is all I wanted you to do. You don't need the YDL DVD in the drive for the reboot - in fact, I would recommend against it. I just wanted you to load YDL's otheros.bld into your firmware - that's all.
As for the mount errors, I think that's because Gentoo uses a different device tree nomenclature.
I can't guarantee this, but based on your fdisk here:
- Code: Select all
Disk /dev/ps3da: 10.7 GB, 10737414144 bites
255 heads, 63 sectors/tracks, 1305 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks ID System
/dev/ps3da1 * 1 13 104391 83 LINUX
/dev/ps3da2 14 1240 9855877+ 83 LINUX
/dev/ps3da3 1241 1305 522122+ 82 LINUX swap
The command for step 5 might be:
- Code: Select all
mount /dev/ps3da2 tmp
I'm assuming the second partition is your / volume, and the /dev/ps3da1 is your /boot volume.
Cheers,
