cd /dev/hda dosn't work
i am trying to install osx on one of my drives. the tutorial i was following involved me cding into one of my drives. first i get a root shell (sudo -s i think) then i mount my drive. it says the drive is not in the /ect/fstab thingy magingy. so i open the diskmanager and attempt to enable it. it works and i can brows the folder useing the gui. when i attempt to mount it in the terminal it says that it's already mount. sounds great all i have to do now is cd into it right. well i try and guess what. i get the error file or firectory does not exist. wtf. any ideas? the mount point i set for it in the disk manager is /. mabey wrong mount point? i don't know how to change the fstab in ubuntu. is there an option at boot up to auto mount all my drives(i have 2 drives but the first one has 4 partions). any help would be great. it's the ubuntu 5.10 live cd.

If you're still interested in mounting your partitions, post the output of these three commands (do not describe the output--copy and paste it exactly as it comes out): Code:
cat /etc/fstab |

It looks as if you have four NTFS partitions. I'm going to assume /dev/hda1 is the one that really matters (and I still don't know how mounting it helps you install OS X... but you can figure that part out--the link you linked to made no sense to me).
Open a terminal and copy and paste these commands in this order: Code:
sudo umount /dev/hda1 Code:
nautilus /windows |
