Re: rescue disk

[George Iordanou <iordanou@gmail.com>]

I've actually managed to create a boot disk using dd command. I cannot
mount my / filesystem though

Partition table:
/dev/hda1 /boot
/dev/hda2 /home
/dev/hda3 /

boot: linux rescue root=/dev/hda3

Isn't this the right command to mount the / system using the CD/floppy's kernel?

Cheers,
George
