Hi folks, if anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it...

I have a Linux partition that won't boot anymore (LILO just keeps rebooting
the machine). Booting from a floppy, I can see the two Linux partitions with
fdisk (swap and native) but I can't mount anything.

mount /dev/hda3 (the root partition) returns an error saying it's not
mentioned in /etc/fstab or /etc/something

I tried manually adding /dev/hda3 to both these files but then I get a
more low-level message implying that there is nothing there to mount.

I'm not sure what my options are at this point. If you've got any ideas,
let me know, otherwise I guess I'll have to reformat the partition. {:-(

Cheers,
	.M.
