Is is possible to access my hard drives from install CD 'Shell' option?...
Hi
If you boot on the install CD you will first get the option to choose 'Install', 'Option' or 'Shell'. If I take Shell I get a RAM-based files system with some basic programs. Is it possible from here to access the hard drives (mounting them somehow)? Have fun /Quaxo

Certainly.
The mount(8) command is available. Here's an example of "chrooting" into a root directory (wd0a) on a hard drive: # mount /dev/wd0a /mnt # mount /dev/wd0d /mnt/usr # /mnt/usr/sbin/chroot mnt ksh

Wow! that's a fast reply, thank you very much!
A small correction though: on the last row "mnt ksh" should be "/mnt ksh". /Quaxo
