Attempting to use 'rescue mode" to automatically mount my system under /mnt/sysimage eventally fails with an error message, which essentially says 'mount error' and nothing else. I am then put at a command prompt as root.
I'm guessing (I'm not all that familiar with the sysimage thing--I usually just mount things on /mnt) that you probably need to do
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sysimage/dev
I did not do this. Maybe I need to,
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/sysimage/proc
I did do this.
However, as I said, I'm not familiar with the sysimage thing, I've always just skipped that when using rescue and gone to a shell prompt.
I am at the shell prompt but in order to get grub to work, don't I need to mount my actual boot and root partitions for grub to know that (hd0,9) refers a valid boot partition when I tell grub:
root (hd0,9) setup (hd0,9)
