      *is* the OS installed on hda3? by fudje2006-03-24 18:11:04

            chroot from the live cd to the hard drive? by carthax2006-03-24 18:36:08
              Well, try it from the ramdisk then, by fudje2006-03-24 18:39:36
                Now you've lost me. by carthax 2006-03-24 18:43:35
I know that a ramdisk exists, but I don't know how to access it.

/dev/ram0 <-- my thought, based on what I read in fstab.

Problem: chroot isn't an option in the shell I can enter when the system halts on startup. Any other way I can get in there?

                    Gimme a minute or two... (n/t) by carthax2006-03-24 18:55:20
                      It's not mounted, and it's not continuing to boot. (n/t) by carthax2006-03-24 19:13:42
                        What *is* (was) it doing? (n/t) by fudje2006-03-24 19:44:09
                          It gave an error when I tried to mount the drive.. by carthax2006-03-24 19:52:54
                            Um, you needed to create a directory /tmp/hda3.... by fudje2006-03-24 20:16:28
                              I *did* create /tmp/hda3 by carthax2006-03-24 20:21:00
                                So what doesn't exist? by fudje2006-03-24 20:59:56
