If you boot from to CD in Rescue mode and need to run fsck.ext2 You can not pick a /dev/hda? or /tmp/hda? with out mounting it first. Can this be changed?
I have been working with the new kernel 2.4.0-test1 If Redhat could use the new devfs this will not be a problem any more. Note: please do.. Enjoy, Richard Rager kb8rln
In rescue mode, you will have to create the devices needed for fsck to access the partitions. I believe that mknod is available if you wish to create the devices without doing a mount. A 2.4 kernel will be available at the appropriate time, almost certainly with devfs included.
