    I've actually managed to create a boot disk using dd command. I cannot
    mount my / filesystem though

    Partition table:
    /dev/hda1 /boot
    /dev/hda2 /home
    /dev/hda3 /

    boot: linux rescue root=/dev/hda3

    Isn't this the right command to mount the / system using the CD/floppy's kernel?

    Cheers,
    George
