Hi Mark.

Thanks for your input.
When I chroot to /mnt/sysimage the only hard drive listed is sda. Both
from "linux rescue"
 and chroot mount reflects the same drive / partition mapping  :
Rescue :
/dev/sda2 on /mnt/sysimage type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/sysimage/boot type ext3 (rw,data=ordered)

Chroot :
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,defaults)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,defaults)

Thanks

Greg
