Actually it is not my box someone just asked me how to recover from this, problem is I have never encountered this before and consequently don't know the process. Since I have been using linux for a while I thought it would provide a good learning experience. Also, since the box is not a production machine we have time to learn otherwise he'd just reinstall his operating system. So next question... I have this somewhere, but can not find it. What is the command to boot from a rescue cd and mount sda1 as the root partition? and is there a doc somewhere on this process?
