You should use 'fdisk -l' or 'blkid' only after you boot with your

Ok, then you have to boot the CD and mount the disk. Then just edit the

Hi all,
I just built bash 4.3.29 from source. I wanted to change my root and one user
account to use it as the default shell. I ran sudo chsh and entered
/usr/local/bin/bash, and everything was fine. I could log in and out, run
commands, and the $SHELL and $BASH_VERSION environment variables
