Booting Local - Root Filesystem from Live CD

[pmabie]

Hello

Using Fedora Core 9 x64 w/mass storage card ide

I am trying to help a friend out , I need to boot the Local Root Filesystem on my Fc9 , so I can access my source code and runs some apps from it.

From Live CD Shell
Command: mount /dev/hdc2 /mnt/hdc2 -t sysfs
this command does work but I don't see my files , all I see is directories fs,fuse ect...

My Question : How do you do this right , I have copied the entries from fstab and mtab. They just do not work in BT2

fstab:
UUID=8a1b253c-dd26-46d0-8d0b-42d64780783d / ext3 defaults 1 1

mtab:
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0


thanks for your time
pmabie.

you want to boot the backtrack livecd to access your fedora9 installation??

boot up the livecd. create directory /mnt/blabla. mount the root dir of your fedora9 installation "mount /dev/hdax /mnt/blabla". next mount /dev /sys and proc

mount -t proc /proc /mnt/hdx/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/hdx/dev
mount -o bind /sys /mnt/hdx/sys

and then chroot in that directory

chroot /mnt/hdx

thats it...
