Start by issuing "blkid" to determine what partitions are there. If you use -L |
| 19 |
with mkfs.<whatever> then you should have a label, such as this: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
peter ~ # blkid |
| 22 |
/dev/sda1: LABEL="root" UUID="73362905-79dc-4512-9518-4c040963f80e" TYPE="xfs" |
| 23 |
/dev/sda2: LABEL="boot" UUID="2559cf58-63fa-44d3-ac82-94514d4d3769" TYPE="xfs" |
| 24 |
/dev/sda3: LABEL="home" UUID="8d5d17c1-7f99-4a49-b256-4d075306e42e" TYPE="xfs" |
| 25 |
/dev/sda5: LABEL="swap" UUID="636e7622-4a10-43d2-b976-d37cc15da7fc" TYPE="swap" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Then "mkdir /tmp/help" or whatever, and "mount /dev/<partition> /tmp/help/ and |
| 28 |
when you get the old / located, mount it first later. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
mount /dev/<old /> /mnt/gentoo |
| 31 |
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/gentoo/boot |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
It looks like sda2 and sda3 are identical, so you got something mounted wrong. |
