He says the "pc boots fine now" and he "can use it" and he goes on to |
| 30 |
say that he has "no /dev/hd*" or "/dev/sd*" devices, so I have to |
| 31 |
believe he's got a running system. Not having any /dev/hd* files would |
| 32 |
support the error trying to mount /boot. Trying to fix /etc/fstab first |
| 33 |
is not the way to attack his problem given the information we have now. |
