Try mounting it at a different location such as /mnt. Is it possible that you have several partitions and /usr/lib or /lib is on one of them? In which case you will need to mount those partitions too. Check your mounted /mnt/etc/fstab to see what you normally mount and mount those up too. I know you are already looking for this but verify that your running kernel (with uname -a) matches your executable (with file /bin/bash). If you boot a cdrom that uses grub as the bootloader then you can stop the process there and redirect grub to the disk installation. This is more complicated but I think you get the idea. Unfortunately most use syslinux but there are some that use grub but I don't have a pointer to one off the top of my head. Bob
