Hi Collins,
Thanks for your advice.
Failed to open the filesystem.
If the partition table has not changed, and the partition is valid and
it really contains a reiserfs partition, then the superblock is
corrupted and you need to run this utility with

So, you can't remember? Guess you could just try several till you hit the right one, then
Try cfdisk.
The file system will be whatever you set it up for when you installed Gentoo.

Don't mount it in /mnt, but in /mnt/gentoo. The LiveCD is mounted
in /mnt/cdrom and by mounting something in /mnt you will lose all t

cfdisk shows partition types, but you don't normally need to know. mount

Start from Live-CD like in installation.
Mount the / to /mnt/gentoo
cd /mnt/gentoo/etc and edit the files (including fstab) you need.
I think if you chroot there then you can also run "passwd" and set the
root password to correct again and then you can start rebooting.
