No, your hard drive partitions are not mounted. Rescue mode offers to search for your system and mount it. But when it fails to find your system partitions, you need to do it yourself. Use tools like "parted" or "fdisk" to examine your disks, e.g. parted /dev/hda print or fdisk -l /dev/hda would list the partition table on /dev/hda. > On Nov 19, 2003, at 12:29 PM, Matt Raible wrote: > > > How do I get to a command line where I can execute this.

You don't need to, because it's in standard search path. Just type "e2label" instead of /sbin/e2label. Only when you would chroot into your installed system, it would be in /sbin. --
