When I check after the pivot root it looks like this .. /dev/dasda1 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) proc on /proc type proc (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/dasdc1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,acl,user_xattr) /dev/dasdd1 on /usr type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr) the wierd things here is that I'd excpect / to be /dev/dasdb1 but it's actually /dev/dasda1 now - how are these mounted (fstab?)
