Hi
You could mount the /boot partition and access the files there.
For this use linuxconf.
Or u could modify the fstab file in the /etc directory. In this
file you could specify the mount point, which is a directory that has to be
created say /mnt/boot. Specify your device type i.e. /dev/hdc5 and the type
of the partition which is ext2. Rest you could guess by giving this file a look
Save the file and run the command mount /mnt/boot ... the mount point you
created.
You can then access your files from /mnt/boot directory.
In case of problems you can contact me.
