RE: Debian repair reload drama howto?
My LILO RECOVERY
http://www.toms.net/rb/
http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/LILO-crash-rescue-HOWTO-1.html
1. downloaded, uncompressed, installed to floppy, tomsrtbt
2. booted box off tomsrtbt floppy
3. fdisk -l (to see which device is boot and which is /)
4. mkdir rootpartition
5. mount /dev/hda1 /rootpartition
6. cat /rootpartition/etc/fstab (to see if /boot, /usr, /var, etc. are on
other partitions)
7. mount /dev/hda3 /rootpartition/home/share
8. vi /etc/fstab
a. added lines:
b. /dev/hda1 /rootpartition ext2 1 1
c. /dev/hda3 /rootpartition/home/share ext2 1 1
9. cat /etc/fstab (to check vi)
10. mount -a
11. chroot /rootpartition /sbin/lilo -q
12. man chroot
13. chroot /rootpartition /sbin/lilo
a. Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not exist, disk scan bypassed
b. Added Linux *
c. Skipping vmlinuz.old
14. exit
15. hard reboot
SUCCESS! Now I don't have to recreate my CUPS, SWAT, fileshare, and SAMBA
WiNS and PDCE stuff!
Thanks for the pointers, great ideas, and bonus info
