Oh, the shame of it! I'm having to run Win98 to get online!
In tweaking my Mandrake 7.0 installation, I managed to have lost
access to it. I'm pretty sure it's the ide-scsi line I put in
rc.local, and it causes a hang at the line:
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4
The boot floppy I created when I installed Mandrake doesn't seem to
give me a way to get past the problem so that I can edit rc.local.
I tried to install Debian in another partition as a way to get at
rc.local, but for some reason I couldn't get a boot floppy prepared,
and I'd rather not lose my Mandrake lilo.
I had on hand the tomsrtbt floppy version of Linux, and that boots OK,
but I can't figure how to mount my Mandrake filesystem. I did the
following without success:
cd /mnt
mkdir mandrake
mount -t ext2 /dev/hdb8 /mnt/mandrake
I got the generic mount failure message offering a half dozen
different possibilities as the reason for failure.
Suggestions?
