Greetings,
Thanks to all the people who helped on this and my SuSE is now back up
and running.
Whilst the following worked Ok, I did not understand 100% what was

The Linux fdisk partition listing is as folows:
Device Start/End/BlocksId System
/dev/hda1 7 NTFS
/dev/hda2 f W95 Ext'd LBA

boot your cd/dvd or the floppies to rescue mode again and then run:
fdisk -l
that should list your partitions.

Once you mount the disk at /mnt, and before chroot, you expect the shell
to be at /mnt/bin/bash. If it's not, you didn't mount properl
