hi all,

i've installed a gentoo system on a jfs root partition a few days ago
...

basically it works fine, except for one aspect ... if the partition is
marked as not clean, the computer refuses to boot ... i have to boot
from a live cd to run jfs_fsck ...

my partitions are:
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2
/dev/hda2 swap
/dev/hda3 / jfs

if the partition is not cleanly umounted, it will post this, when trying
to mount the partition:

>> Mounting filesystems...
Started device management daemon v1.3.5 for /dev
>> Determining root device...
>> Mounting root...
mount: Mounting /dev/hda3 on /newroot failed: Invalid argument
>> Could not mount specified ROOT, try again
>> The root block device is unspecified or not detected.
Please specify a device to boot, or "shell" for a shell...

is there any way to mount a dirty partition readonly on / to run
jfs_fsck without the use of a livecd?

thanks in advance ... tim
