19 Running

21 "find /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-gentoo-r8"

23 Produces 15: unable to find file

25 However:
26
27 localhost ~ # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/floppy/
28 localhost ~ # ls /mnt/floppy/boot/
29 boot config config-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 grub kernel.current kernel.old System.map System.map-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 vmlinuz vmlinuz-2.6.17-gentoo-r8

33 Thanks,
