Well, I specified reiserfs on the command that I sent you but that may be wrong, since your disk may be ext3 or some other filesystem type. You need to specify the right one. As for the mnt point, if it doesn't exist, from the console in rescue mode, you can always issue the mkdir /mnt/root command and then issue the mount command. That way, the mount point will be created. The /mnt directory should exist as I think that it is created on the ramdrive that Mandrake uses to run rescue mode. This is assuming that Mandrake was installed to a single partition, IIRC, the default is two partitions, a / and /home partition. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
