[quote Glued]I'm running 10.4.8 on a G5 tower.
I have been able to get into single user mode from the "New" sys drive. The old system drive is called "Macintosh HD". I have fscked the "New" sys drive.
If I try to cd over to the old drive, the deepest I can get is "/Volumes/Macintosh HD". If I ls at that point, all I get is ".autodiskmounted" and that's it. As though the disk actually is NOT mounted. I haven't touched UNIX in freaking twenty years and for the life of me cannot come up with the correct phrasing to mount "Macintosh HD". Any ideas?
I suspect it will be something like
mount -t hfs -w /dev/disk2s9 /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD
but the actual device (in this case disk2s9) will depend on where in the device chain the disk actually lives. The above is (I think) ID 9 on SCSI bus 2.
