managed to mount hdc5 and hdc7 with above command...would not accept hdc1 as it was a NTFS partition and hdc6 was Linux swap.3) Boot from SuSE disk 1 but select "rescue system". You then have to fix it up on the command line, and I'd do something like
mount /dev/hda?? /mnt # mount your root filesystem
chroot /bin/bash /mnt # make hard disk top-level
error: can't change rot to /bin...not a directory
mount /proc # you need the proc fs!!
message: proc already installed
Yast # text-based yast to reinstall boot loader
error: Command not found
# (be thankful for full power of yast even without graphics...) umount /proc # unmount in reverse exit # back to rescue system as top level umount /mnt reboot
...not looking very good at the moment in respect of my Linux being still on the hard drive...think I'll wait till Weds night on this one
Thanks one and all..
Ralph
