  Good morning 

  [ Included this paragraph as this is the point fron which I start                 ]
  [ You are running "ash", a Bourne-shell clone the root filesystem is a RAM disk   ]
  [ or a floppy disk. The hard disk filesystems are mounted under "/target".  ---   ]
  
  did the following as you suggested Onno

  cd /target

  df -h
  Filesystem             Size      used  Available  Used  Mounted on
  /dev/ram0              6.4m      4.7m       1.6M    75%  / 
  /dev/hda2             18.2G      1.6G      15.8G     9%  /target

  cat /etc/fstab
  /dev/fd0         /floppy auto     defaults,noauto 0      0

  ls -l /
  this gave me a directory listing of root

                       IS A COMPLETE LISTING WANTED???

  ls -l /boot
  ls: /boot: No such file or directory
  
  if I do
  ls -l /target/boot
  -rw-r--r--      1 root     root   224124 Aug 19 15:00 System.map-2.2.20-idepci

  cat /etc/lilo.conf
  cat: /etc/lilo.conf: No such file or directory

  if I do
  cat /target/etc/lilo.conf

   I get a complete listing of lilo.conf
