I followed the directions typing in "linux init=/bin/sh" and reached a
prompt:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read only.
sh: /usr/bin/check -sendfile: No such file or directory
/#

When I try to edit the file with joe I get the following error:
sh: joe: command not found

I tried unmount and got the same error.

I can switch directories but that didn't change anything.
How can I get my commands back?
Thanks,
Kent
