51.7.3 Mounting the Root Device
If all needed disks are online, you should now be able to mount the root device. Assum-
ing that the root device is on the second partition of the DASD device (/dev/dasda2),
the corresponding command is mount /dev/dasda2 /mnt.
IMPORTANT: File System Consistency
If the installed system has not been shut down properly, it may be advisable
to check the file system consistency prior to mounting. This prevents any acci-

to ensure that the file system is in a consistent state.
By just issuing the command mount, it is possible to check whether the file system
could be mounted correctly.
