52.7.3 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-
dental loss of data. Using this example, issue the command fsck /dev/dasda2
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.
Example 52.1 Output of the Mount Command
SuSE Instsys suse:/ # mount
shmfs on /newroot type shm (rw,nr_inodes=10240)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
virtual-proc-filesystem on /proc type proc (rw)
/dev/dasda2 on /mnt type reiserfs (rw)
52.7.4 Changing to the Mounted File System
For the zipl command to read the configuration file from the root device of the installed
system and not from the rescue system, change the root device to the installed system
with the chroot command:
Example 52.2 chroot to the Mounted File System
SuSE Instsys suse:/ # cd /mnt
SuSE Instsys suse:/mnt # chroot /mnt
52.7.5 Executing zipl
