On the other hands, basically no information is there to change OR edit. In the next line when I enter ”mount /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sda” in first attempt it said there is no such directory and later attempts just like the first command line, nothing really happened.Īnd lastly when I enter ”vi /mnt/sda/grub/menu.lst” a new screen shows up, but it’s like empty. When I enter ”mkdir /mnt/sda” Basically nothing happens!
