chroot from CD to HD
 

anyone know what steps I need to take to change root from CD to HD when booting from CD ?

I am using mandrake 10.1 on CD. I have worked out how to do it for Fedora Core 3 but slightly different structure for mandrake.

the HD is a USB drive so am trying to mount /dev/sda1 (boot) /dev/sda3 (root)

Thanks

Ok.. if /dev/sda1 is boot and /dev/sda3 is root do this:

mkdir /mnt/system
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/system
mkdir /mnt/system/boot (only if it doesn't already exist)
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/system/boot
mkdir /mnt/system/proc (only if it doesn't already exist)
mount -t proc none /mnt/system/proc
chroot /mnt/system /bin/bash
source /etc/profile

That should get you in....
