Re: [PLUG] Screwed up & hosed - SOLVED


Ya know, I had the answer the whole time - a Debian resue disk (kernel
2.2.17). I never knew you could specify "floppy" as a boot option - this
activates a new menu option - "Execute a shell" - which allowed me to
mount my root partition; rename the /etc and /sbin; and edit the
/etc/fstab.

All booting fine now.

Altho it does make me VERY leery about trying this partition stunt with
the /bin and/or /usr directories.
