Thanks Gentlemen... I've downloaded tomsrtbt and was able to
mkdir /test
mount /dev/hda1 /test
I can access all files under /test/etc - e.g. vi rc opens the file rc - which appears to be uncorrupted... the same goes for the file rc.sysinit.
As I said, I'm a relative newcomer and I'm stuck not knowing why INIT cannot execute the said files.
With fdisk I can print the partition tables on all 3 disks, and diskspace is available on all.
Would you kindly have any more advice on how to understand where the problem lies?
With much appreciation,
/j-p.
