Well, I'm not sure. I can mount a floppy. Let me restate the problem in a clearer way.Knoppix boots as a read-only system. Normally, it detects partitions on your HD, and mounts them read-only as well, but gives you the ability to remount them read-write. Now if you're not getting little icons for each HD partition, then i'm guessing its not detecting/mounting them.
Knoppix won't let me modify /etc/hosts - tells me it can't modify linked files and it won't let me do a modprobe dpt_i2o even though the module is there - it tells me operartion not permitted.
I installed the dpt_i2o module using the expert boot mode of Knoppix and feeding it a floppy. That got my RAID accessible and I can mount it.
I guess the issue is"
1. Knoppix has the system locked up somehow so that I can't add modules via modprobe and I can't edit files. At this point I don't expect them to stay across boots - they have a way to do that but I haven't looked into it. How do I unlock it so I can modify some of this stuff.
At least at this point I have networking configured so I can reach the Gentoo servers and am getting my files.
It looks like learning Knoppix and how to save across boots will be a future project! For now I just want to be able to modify files and add modules.
