I've managed to get into my main Linux partition through the boot disk,
and changed the necessary entries in fstab. Now Linux boots fine
normally again. However -- have you noticed there's always a 'however'?
-- in the bootup, I get an error message regarding my new partition,
hdc8, saying it's not a proper ext2 filesystem. I've got it listed as
such in fstab:
/dev/hdc8 /brian1 ext2 defaults 1 1
My other Linux partitions are:
/dev/hdc6 / ext defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc7 swap swap defaults 1 1
Notice I've got hdc8 set up as brian1. This is just to give it a name.
However, I have no files whatsoever on that partition yet. I don't even
know how to see it, let alone put files on it. So, how do I get the
correct fs set up on it? Sorry for all the questions, but I can't seem
to find the correct How To to answer these questions. Still searching
though! ;-) Thanks.
