What you would actually want to check the presence of, here, is:
/mnt/sysimage2/sbin/bash
as that is what will be executed with chroot when you correctly type:
chroot /mnt/sysimage2 /sbin/bash
Brad's instructions could equally well have been amended thus:
chroot /mnt/sysimage2 /sbin/zipl -V
chroot /mnt/sysimage2 /sbin/mkinitrd -v -f /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img
`uname -r`
Which would then run the zipl and mkinitrd _on your mounted /mnt/
sysimage2 dasd_.
Now that I type that out, you're going to have another very big
problem and a still unbootable system, as the mkinitrd must come
_before_ zipl!
Here are my suggestions for alternate steps 3 & 4 from Brad's process,
assuming I've correctly inferred that VolGroup00/LogVol00 is your
normal root filesystem (/) and that dasda1 is /boot:
3. Create the initrd:
# mkinitrd -b /mnt/sysimage2/boot -d /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
# cp -p /boot/initrd* /mnt/sysimage2/boot
(if somebody can tell me why this writes the initrd to /boot instead
of /mnt/sysimage2/boot and thus requires the manual 'cp' step, I would
be grateful)
4. Run zipl
# chroot /mnt/sysimage2 /sbin/zipl
ok
