FW: [SLUG] VFS can not mount root

[Stephen Mills <smills@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

whoops, /etc/lilo.conf - im half asleep it seems

=================
<slip>

I booted the RH rescue CD but my drives were not in /dev How do I create
these so that I can mount them and check what the problem is?

<slip>

mknod /dev/hda

take note that while in rescue mode, vi is not available, only pico, I
believe this is due to the size difference, vi being larger, if you want vi,
mount your filesystem

you might get the 'VFS cant mount root' if your root= line points to a wrong
fs in your /etc/lilo

If you want to rerun lilo config and your kernel is on /boot then you'll
need to chroot it before lilo will run.

Have fun
