*How to boot up Fedora 9 from /dev/sdb in room T2107
These instructions assume that Fedora 9 has been installed on /dev/sdb with the following partition setup:
* /dev/sdb1 = /boot
* /dev/sdb2 = /
* /dev/sdb3 = swap
* /dev/sdb4 = extended
* /dev/sdb5 = /home
Boot up the system and when the data recovery card displays a menu of OS choices, choose Fedora 8. A boot screen will be displayed with a 3 second countdown before booting. Press the <ESC> key before the countdown reaches 0. Another menu is displayed listing two Fedora 8 kernels to boot from:
* Fedora (2.6.24.5-85.fc8)
* Fedora (2.6.24.4-64.fc8)
Do not choose either of these. Instead press the "c" key to display a command line. Issue the following commands:
* root (hd1,0)
* kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686 root=/dev/sdb2
* initrd /initrd-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686.img
* boot
Fedora 9 will now boot.
OR - another way
* root (hd1,1)
* kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686
* initrd (hd1,0)/initrd-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686.img
* boot
