I have MD 8.1 installed on my first drive and wanted to do a separate install for MD8.2. I put in a second drive and installed MD 8.2 which installed its version of LILO in MBR. After reading the LILO info on MUO, I learned that I needed to go back and reinstall the original LILO and then edit lilo.conf to add the MD 8.2 boot.
Here is my problem. I booted up CD1 and ran 'rescue'. But I can't figure out how to get access to /dev/hda5 so I can run /sbin/lilo. Trying to mount the /dev gives me 'Permission Denied' and 'Device already mounted'. One time I got a message indicated that mtab shows the device already mounted. I checked mtab, and all the correct partitions were showing up. If I were in DOS, I would simply type the drive letter (c:) and go for it. Can someone clue me in on how to move from /mnt/cdrom to /dev/hda5? I've looked through three of my linux books (have a couple more to go) and there is no reference as to how to do it. Barry
